Big Bones by Laura Dockrill

1.0

I couldn't get through more than 50 pages of this book. Horrible, horrible work. Would have given it a zero if I could. I honestly don't understand what all the hubbalubba around this book is all about. It claims to be body positive. But in reality, it is about a sixteen year old obese girl who considers herself superior to everybody because she is what, fat? Now, that is ridiculous. Curvy girls do not behave like this. The main character calls everybody rude and judgmental while, she is the most judgmental person in the book. A lot of parts that were meant to be funny are simply flat out offensive. To top it all off, I have lived in London for a year now and nobody throws chips at a curvy person asking them to "Eat it, fatty" like this book claims. Honestly, some books should be banned and this one is definitely one of them.

Ps. There is no story, the character development is crude and slapstick, the dialogues are downright silly (nobody talks like that in real life). A sad, horribly written, extremely judgmental book. DON'T BOTHER READING! I did not complete it and I don't plan to do so in the future either.
