Happy Fat: Taking Up Space in a World That Wants to Shrink You by Sofie Hagen

5.0
This book is key reading for everyone. It is a fun, educational primer on fat liberation and challenging fatphobia in your own life. As noted in other reviews, it's not ground-breaking in terms of the fat liberation topics that are covered, but I think it would make a perfect entry point into understanding fatphobia.
Sofie is funny, witty and clever throughout. She is also vulnerable, emotional and deeply moving. The world is better for having this book in it.
