Romantic, funny and lighthearted, nothing you haven’t read before, but still worth the read, I would give 45 Pounds (More or Less) a 3.5 out of 5 rating. This book leaves you a little happier than when you started. for 45 Pounds More Or Less Ka Barson and numerous books collections from fictions to scientific research in any way. Barson’s real-to-life writing combines a lighthearted nature with serious emotional issues, focusing on Ann’s struggles to escape unhealthy relationships with both people and food, figure out what’s real in her life, and maybe even meet a guy with extremely cute dimples before the end. Everyone can relate to her seeing herself as “less than perfect,” and on that subject, she sure has a lot to say.Įven though this story isn’t exactly “New and NEVER seen before!” material, I would still suggest this book to anyone struggling with their weight or body image, or just anyone looking for a good summer read. And at the end, you’ve found a true friend in Ann Galardi. Barson, paints an authentic picture of Ann’s life, both painful and compelling, that’s almost difficult to read at times because you feel the pain right alongside her. Barson (More or less) Summery: This book is about a teenager, Ann, who is incredibly embarrassed about her weight and suffers.

She’s 16 years old and a size 17, and with her aunt’s wedding looming over her shoulder and that bridesmaid dress that she just wants to look perfect in, she decides that she must lose 45 pounds (more or less) in two months. 45 POUNDS (MORE OR LESS) Ann has a weight problem and a mother problemand the two issues are likely connected. 45 Pounds (More or Less) is a realistic and difficult portrayal of a teenager named Ann dealing with body image, humiliation (both real and in her head), and the simple pains of growing up.
