From the back cover: What do you get when you throw together one of the ugliest human beings outside a circus and the fattest boy in high school? Two kids with the "terminal uglies" who are inseparable best friends.Sarah Byrnes's face is mostly third-degree burn scars. She's had them since she was 3 years old, but one day, during her senior year of high school, she stops talking completely and is taken in for psychiatric treatment. It's up to her only friend, Eric, to find out whether he can make her talk again. Along the way, he falls in love with his dream girl, fights with her ex, and looks at religion in a whole new way.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Often considered one of Chris Crutcher's strongest novels, Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes was published in 1993 and won several awards, including the Joan Fassler Memorial Award, the ALAN Award for Contributions to Young Adult Literature, and the California Young Reader Medal. | |

Beautiful All Along: A justified aversion: Sarah Byrnes' burns (1) were treated only until they were nonlethal, with next to nothing reconstructive ever done, and (2) are 15 years old by the time we meet her. Even with extensive plastic surgery, she'll never be a pretty woman. Played straight with Eric: When he joins the swim team and loses weight, girls start to take interest in him. | |
