A funny and honest look into the pageant world and the realities of being a plus size teenager. I really didn't care to read about a pageant, but the stereotype subversion and Dolly Parton songs made me pick up this book, and I don't regret reading it.

As a fat person, YES!!! Everything about this I loved. I felt SO incredibly seen. I think this is a new fav. Only the end was just a little too abrupt haha. I think I would have liked an epilogue or something. But that's just a personal preference.
