Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes by Chris Crutcher


"Sarah Byrnes and Eric have been friends for years. When they were children, his fat and her terrible scars made them both outcasts. Later, although swimming slimmed Eric, she stayed his closest friend.
Now Sarah Byrnes -- the smartest, toughest person Eric has ever known -- sits silent in a hospital. Eric must uncover the terrible secret she's hiding, before its dark currents pull them both under." -Goodreads.com

Even though it was hard to keep track when there was the flash backs from when they were younger (I had to read some chapters several times because it would switch so fast) I overall really liked Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes. It was such a different take on the main subject of the book than any I have read before. It also was the first Chris Crutcher book that I have read and will most defiantly be going out and getting more of his books.

4 stars.
