Big Girl by Mecca Jamilah Sullivan

4.0

Malaya and her family had more issues than just her weight. At times I felt that her parents used her weight as an excuse for why things weren’t working between them. Percy was into the gentle parenting style and also spoke positivity into Malaya. It was sad when she said her father was the only one to ever call her beautiful before she started losing weight. Nyela was harder on Malaya but she genuinely just wanted her daughter to be healthy but struggled to effectively communicate that with Malaya and Percy too tbh. I did wish that we got more of Malaya’s story because at time I felt she was a secondary character and plot to her parents failing marriage and issues.
