Big Bones by Laura Dockrill
3.0
I read this because it was featured in the Lush Book Club (yeah Lush Cosmetics has a book club!) and I reaaally fancied a light hearted young adult read! And this is what I got!
It’s super lighthearted and funny - a bit like the Angus, Thongs, (etc.) series - with a huge tablespoon of cheesiness. (Get it because this is a book about a girl and her love for food??)
Bluebelle is sixteen and has a love affair with food, but after a trip to the doctors about her weight, she’s asked to keep a food diary. And this is what we as the reader see. And boy did it make me hungry.
I gave this three stars because don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it and would happily read it again because I loved her relationship with her family, friends and food. And the best part is that it projected body positivity throughout! But there were parts when she just got a *tad* annoying - and the cheesiness was TOO CHEESY.
