Book description
'Watch out, world. Here I come!'
For Victoria Dawson, growing up isn't a happy experience.
Born to picture-perfect parents, she never feels pretty enough to meet
their expectations. But when her parents have a second child, Victoria
is thrilled - she can't help but adore her new baby sister
Gracie. And since Gracie is the image of them, her parents
finally have the perfect daughter they always wanted. Meanwhile
Victoria still never seems to get it quite right - she battles with
her weight, she's told she'll never find a man if she's too clever,
and the one career she feels passionate about her parents don't
approve of.
And so Victoria decides to move to New York to fulfil her dreams and
escape her family. Though her new life is exciting, the old
temptations remain, and she continues to wage war with the scales.
Victoria struggles to find a life far from the hurt and neglect
of her childhood, the damage created by her parents, the courage to
find freedom, and become who she really is at last.
