Artichoke's Heart
276 pages
Summary:
In Artichoke's Heart, Rosemary Goode is struggling with her weight. Not only does she criticize herself, but her family and friends criticize her as well. Even the girls at school have given her the name Artichoke. Throughout the book, Rosemary fights her weight. Later she gains the support from her best friend and her boyfriend. Her family and friends quit the criticizing and support her as well.
My Review:
I wasn't quite as into this book as I though I would be. However it was a very good book. It is a particularly easy read and the plot doesn't tend to jump around a lot which is good. There was just something about Supplee's writing that I didn't like though. I can't really put my finger on it, but it just didn't hit the right note. Maybe it was the fact that it was too easy of a read for me.
Overall, Artichoke's Heart has a huge point to it. It shows that appearance doesn't matter at all and that what's inside is what really counts. A pretty face doesn't mean a pretty personality. It was a very good book and the story was remarkable.
