I hated this book when I read it as a kid, and a quick re-read hasn't changed my opinion much. I mean, way to glorify stealing your parents' prescription medication! Spoilers ahead: "Gee, I'm too fat. Let me steal some of mom's diet pills. But I can't sleep, so let me take some of her sleeping pills too. OK, now I'm really thin. What? These diet pills are "speed"? I'd better stop taking them. And anyway dad loves me again, and a boy has a crush on me, now that I'm skinny." ( )
