I absolutely LOVED this book. I loved Poppy, her brothers and her parents and I love that they seemed so real to me. The story was heartfelt and told just beautifully. It was a book that I stayed up late to finish and woke up early to start reading again. This was the second book by Laurie Frankel that I read this month and I'll surely keep going back for more of hers.
Graphic: Body shaming
