About Me

"Sixteen-year-old Angie is called 'Lezzylard' at school. Her best friend, Shelby, is an out dyke in a working class suburb of St. Louis, while the third member of their trio can't shoplift because security guards always fixate on her one enormous breast. Angie's mother is marrying a man with a sleazy moustache while the school's pot dealer, Inez, pretends to talk on payphones in order to yell things like, "I don't care how sick you are grandma, there's NO WAY I'm gonna SHOOT YOU!" Inez, it turns out, is also on a diet.Angie is teased by football jocks, then platonically seduced by the prettiest girl in school, who is anorexic and wants to make imaginary grocery lists with her. To top it off, she tells fat-baiting Mindy Overton to "just puke up your lunch and eat a bag of shit already," Prompting the school's most brutal popular kids to decide she needs to be taken down a notch. Just how is Angie supposed to survive the next two months?"
