A small overview of the book is that Paige Crosby is overweight, and receives a big job opportunity. However, she doesn't think that she deserves it and hides in the shadows. There is more to it, but that is just a quick note about...
I miss sports. I mean, I LOVE sports. Especially hockey and baseball. Unless you didn't know that! HAHA!
