Fake

By Donna Cooner

The pranks, the laughs, the stares, the jokes. Maisie Fernandez is tired of her weight being the center of attention wherever she goes in this book by Colorado author Donna Cooner. Why can’t anyone, including herself, see beyond her size?

Then she gets an idea: create a social media profile as a pretty, skinny girl and get the most popular boy in school to fall for her. But the lying gets complicated and Maisie begins to see that all those kids she hated for hating her are just as insecure as she is.

But is it too late to overcome her own hate, forgive the others and find a way to love herself?
