Book description
Magda is tall and glamorous, Nadine is willowy and 'gothic'. And Ellie
. . . well, Ellie is just plain normal. The three girls have been best
friends forever, but now Ellie is convinced she's fat, Nadine wants to
be a model, and Magda worries that her appearance is giving guys the
wrong idea. The pressure is on for them to change the way they look -
but can they learn to love themselves, just the way they are?
