Bookroo's summary
Rosemary Goode faces a turning point after a disastrous holiday season leaves her feeling overwhelmed by her weight and her mother's beauty shop gossip. With the unexpected influence of basketball player Kyle Cox, Rosemary embarks on a transformative year. As she navigates the pressures of small-town life, Rosemary discovers that true change lies in understanding her own self-worth. Will she find the courage to redefine her identity beyond the scale? Dive into Rosemary's heartfelt journey of self-acceptance and empowerment, where the real transformation is more than skin deep.
From the publisher
It’s not so easy being Rosemary Goode and tipping the scales at almost two hundred pounds? especially when your mother runs the most successful (and gossipiest!) beauty shop in town. After a spectacularly disastrous Christmas break when the scale reaches an all-time high?Rosemary realizes that things need to change. (A certain basketball player, Kyle Cox, might have something to do with it.) So begins a powerful year of transformation and a journey toward self-discovery that surprisingly has little to do with the physical, and more to do with an honest look at how Rosemary feels about herself.
