Have you ever felt invisible?

Meghan Ball has. Despite her massive size, she’s the most unseen person at Valley Regional High. People say things in front of her—all sorts of things—as if she doesn’t exist. And most of the time she feels as if she doesn’t.

Until Meghan sees Aimee Zorn. Aimee is as skinny as Meghan is large and as outwardly angry as Meghan is inwardly sad. Meghan instantly recognizes a kindred spirit in Aimee, another person using her body to say what she cannot.

Alone, they are powerless; but together, Meghan and Aimee have the strength to get sweet revenge against the one girl in school who hurt them both.
