I really wanted to like this book but you can tell the author has never been plus size and is not from California. While it's possible to write from these perspectives without living them this book does not do it well. There is so much negative self-talk in this book I started to hate myself because I am much bigger than the girl in the story, especially since half way through I think the author forgot she's supposed to be writing about a plus size girl. I think if the author changed the girl from "plus-size" to just "curvy" it would work so much better!
