It has an interesting premise - an overweight boy with a talent for the saxophone who gets picked on at school. Review 2: I think every high school student should read books about bullying. I would recommend this book to teenagers. I think this book teaches you that even when you're at an all time low, there will always be someone there for you that loves you, and you should never give up hope. I loved this book because I think that not everyone knows what it's like to be the one kid in school that everyone picks on.

Anna really likes J.P., she wants to meet him, but Butters is trying to lose a big portion of his 420 pound body before he talks to her in real life. So Butter made an account on an online social media, and pretended to be someone named J.P. Butter is too afraid to talk to her in real life because hes worried that she will make fun of his weight problem. Butter gets constantly picked on, and he has no friends at his school, but he really likes a beautiful, popular girl named Anna. Review 1: Butter by Erin Jade Lange is about a depressed and obese boy who got the nickname "Butter" by a group of bullies.
