I loved this book. It's quite funny, but not all fun because Ms. West addresses a lot of really tough subjects. But I love reading her thoughts.

I related to a lot of what was discussed in this book. Some of it I obviously couldn’t relate to and I understand why she wrote about it, but it wasn’t what I was expecting to read about. This is also very much not intersectional( I feel like I’m using the wrong word). It’s kind of white feminism, but not if that makes sense.

This book inspired me and validated me in all the ways I didn’t know I needed! If you are a plus size woman, READ THIS BOOK! Also, I listened to the audiobook and hearing Lindy read it herself definitely added to the enjoyment for me!
