#veryfat #verybrave: The Fat Girl's Guide to Being #brave and Not a Dejected, Melancholy, Down-In-The-Dumps Weeping Fat Girl in a Bikini by Nicole Byer

emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

2.0

The concept of this book I loved--fat women should live their lives however they want and be happy. The message it really sent is that wearing bikinis is brave--wearing not bikini's is not brave. I think most of this book is supposed to be satire-- so I understand that literally the message isn't you have to wear a bikini to be brave. But either way I didn't really enjoy it. I am a fat Black woman, and I just felt more triggered by this book than anything. That said I think most of my feeling about this book is really about my own emotional issues. So take this review with a grain of salt.
