Camp Utopia and the Forgiveness Diet

Sixteen-year-old Bethany Stern is determined to escape her summer at Camp Utopia, a fat camp in Northern California, by losing weight through the trendy Forgiveness Diet. As she attempts to forgive those in her life, including her father and sister, she faces disappointment when the diet fails spectacularly. After a harsh blow from her camp rival, Bethany decides to leave the camp in search of a "real" summer adventure, only to discover that running away is more complex and less healing than she anticipated. Through her witty and candid narrative, she addresses societal pressures around body image with humor and depth.
