This book is a compilation of short stories about fat teens in a variety of situations. Many of the characters are queer, and many are BIPOC.

I did enjoy this book however, I didn’t expect so much fat phobia. I assumed there would be some obviously since sadly that is the reality of being fat. But, I was not expecting so much from the characters themselves, and their loved ones. That being said I do think this is good representation and I would love so much to read more about each character.

I loved this book, each character was unique and likeable. Each story was well written and interesting.
