Description
16 year old Rae has just left psychiatric hospital, where she has been for four months. She is looking for love – but worries if she will be too big for the world, or if the world is too big for her.
This drama series, adapted from Rae Earl’s real-life diary and book of the same name, takes a warm, hilarious and honest look at teenage life from the perspective of an overweight sixteen-year-old girl in mid-90s Lincolnshire, UK.
It's a coming-of-age show about a fat, funny girl who – despite a bonkers mother and her own mental health issues – has a huge lust for life and a burning desire to get laid.
