How could she be, when she tips the scale at almost 200 pounds and lists Sara Lee and Oprah as her only real friends? And it sure doesn't help that her mother runs the most successful (and gossipiest!) beauty shop in town, where everyone scrutinizes her from her highlights down to her pedicure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut when the scale reaches an all-time high, and she takes special notice of a certain cute boy in school, Rosemary realizes that not only do things need to change, but she wants them to change.
