Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Created by Winnie Holzman (My So-Called Life) and her daughter, this was ABC Family's attempt at prestige teen drama — it bombed because America wasn't ready for fat protagonists who didn't want to change.
The show was based on Sasha Paley's novel but Holzman fundamentally reworked the tone; Paley's original had a more conventional 'transformation' ending that the series actively rejected.
