Yet another cute contemporary, I guess you could say it's a coming-of-age one. I was looking for more wlw books to read in June because I think that's a genre that I never usually go for but always want to. For some reason mlm books are much more popular. So I got recommended this and I'm so grateful for that recommendation.
Especially considering that I would never usually go for a story, which is centered around fatphobia and a larger main character, it's definitely something out of my comfort zone because I guess I have a preconstructed stereotype that a book like that will include lots of hate and moaning. However, this one doesn't. I really did enjoy it!
I won't talk much about the storyline because I feel like with contemporary books it's better to just go in blind. All I'll say is that it takes place during the summer before university so after the main character has done her A-levels and it does talk a bit about moving to uni and that kind of stuff.
So that could help you relate to the characters a bit more because the book also looks at the fears around that.
Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a sweet relaxing story, but also one that tackles important issues and teaches you to love yourself/do what you want.
