Size 12 Is Not Fat
by Meg Cabot
Honestly, I'm kinda disappointed.
Saying "size 12 is not fat" over and over kinda feels fatphobic to me.
The fact that Heather gets offended when being called fat feels fatphobic to me. Size 12 really isn't fat, I agree, but it's not exactly "body positivity" when the protagonist keeps getting offended for being called fat like there's something so wrong with the word.
I was a huge fan of The Princess Diaries series when I was growing up, so I was excited to read other books by the author I like. I guess if I picked up this book years ago, I might like it. I don't, now.
