What is Sugar about?

Seventeen-year-old Sugar Legowski-Gracia struggles with obesity and a challenging home life, caring for her bedridden mother and enduring her brother's abuse. At school, she faces relentless bullying. Her solace lies in food, a source of both comfort and self-loathing. When she befriends Even, a new student who sees beyond her weight, Sugar begins to envision a future where she can break free from her family's expectations and her own self-doubt.
