Five years earlier, a friend's nasty comment makes Ananya start hating her body. She decides to change into a new person-one who effortlessly fits into all kinds of clothes, who shuns food unless it's salad, and who can never be called 'Miss Piggy'-and to cut everything from her 'old' life, including her best friend, Raghu, for being the witness to her humiliation. Ananya is on her way to becoming the Ananya of her dreams, but she's still a work in progress. One day, her parents announce that they're expecting a baby (at their age!). To make matters worse, Raghu reappears in her life... Andaleeb Wajid's latest novel for young adults is a touching and funny story about a young girl's journey to acceptance and self-love.
