Fat Hoochie Prom Queen by Nico Medina

4.0

It's very obvious this was published in 2008, because half of the vernacular in this book would not fly by today's standards. However, I did really enjoy this book. Madge was a fun character to read, and I wish I could have been that fabulous at 18. I loved how she owned her fatness, didn't excuse it, and worked it for her. I loved her friendship with Lucas, and I liked how at the end she realized just how unkind she was becoming. I love the slight twist at the end with prom queen. The drinking was a bit much, but I remember being that age and basically partying it up every chance I could when I was out with friends. All in all, this book was a fun read, and I enjoyed it for what it was.
