Marketed as a “body-positive” book but it's not close to that. Accurate small town representation and decent supporting characters, but nothing very fresh here.
I'm not naive. I know I won't win. I don't even want to. But I want to go up there and prove that there's no reason I can't do this or shouldn't be able to.
— Huh. For a book about body positivity, it sure wasn't body-positive.
