The (Other) F Word: A Celebration of the Fat and Fierce by Angie Manfredi
5.0
Read for Book Riot's Read Harder 2020 challenge for the prompt "YA non-fiction".
Almost docked a star because??? I am not sure except that bits and pieces made me roll my eyes but mostly because I had never really thought about the "fat experience" in that way. Full disclosure I am not really fat by any means which may have been where the initial eye rolling was coming from. Like wow how dare you be so positive about this! Which is the point. I think I liked Saucyé West's essay the most, but this anthology's full of the good stuff.
