This anthology combines a myriad of fat and queer voices to tell stories about the intersection of life when one is both fat and queer. There are many voices represented in this book and they express their stories in different ways: essays, poetry, stories.
I really enjoyed the diversity of voices represented throughout this anthology. Not only people with different queer identities, but also different races, ethnicities, backgrounds, and reasons for being fat. This book made me think about a lot of things I have never really considered about myself and how my fat and queer body interacts with the world. I feel like I learned a great deal from reading this book.
The only thing that bothered me was that similar voices seemed to be grouped together so that it felt like I was reading very similar essays all right in a row. I think I would have enjoyed it more if these similar topics were more spread out throughout the anthology.
