pretty solid comedy writing when there was writing at all! i just really didn't like the format of this. i wish it had been solely photos or narrative with photos mixed in. the captions were weird and not the vibe. and the random filler listicles were strange as well. nicole is too funny and talented for this to be her final draft! but i still enjoyed it to some degree and will be keeping it on my shelf because she pretty

The concept of this book I loved--fat women should live their lives however they want and be happy. The message it really sent is that wearing bikinis is brave--wearing not bikini's is not brave. I think most of this book is supposed to be satire-- so I understand that literally the message isn't you have to wear a bikini to be brave. But either way I didn't really enjoy it. I am a fat Black woman, and I just felt more triggered by this book than anything. That said I think most of my feeling about this book is really about my own emotional issues. So take this review with a grain of salt.
