Lacey Steele is fat. But she’s ready to shed it all. After a lucky bout with a stomach virus, Lacey drops fifteen pounds in a flash and finally rids herself of the title “The ugly and useless Steele” that used to follow her like a stinky cheese at Woodlands High. Although glamorous, Goddess-like thinness remains miles away, that first taste of weight loss is like a drug. And it gets her to thinking since the pounds practically fell off during her illness, why can’t it continue in everyday life? Lacey recruits her friend Ashley to slash calories to the point where the pains and rumblings of their stomachs keep them up at night. But even hunger can’t dissuade them when the numbers on the scale drop so fast.
Skinniness is all Lacey dreamed it would be until a price too great comes due, but the girls discover, ready or not, they have to pay. $0.99 on Kindle.
