A review by thenovelbookshelf
Heavy by Kiese Laymon

challenging emotional inspiring medium-paced

4.0

I had originally heard of this book and Kiese through a recent episode of This American Life, and heard of his struggles with weight which intrigued me.
  
As someone with weight issues myself, I found this memoir to be eye opening on not just Kiese's weight but also on a number of POC issues, more than what I've experienced as mixed race.
