Big Bones by Laura Dockrill
4.0
I knew I’d be into this story as going on the synopsis, I’ve seen some of the story in real life, and Laura Dockrill with these thoughts creates a story that feels raw and honest, but also confident and funny in it’s moments with an ending that’s touching but also one I can imagine happening, that’s real talent.
I was worried that BB’s happiness in her body would change, but thankfully this book is very much one about positivity and being happy with who you are and the writing is pretty good. BB’s descriptions of food are in particular really are mouthwatering (The crumpets at the beginning!) and do kind of make you hungry reading this book which I guess says the writing does get to you!
As a character Bluebell is sassy and a little egotistic, however she is probably one of my new favourite characters and I wish I was a dash like her myself and how the book is written is great too. I really enjoy diary form books and Dockrill uses it incredibly well in this book making for a fun read.
