More trouble at school and at home — and the discovery of a missive from her late soldier sister — send Angie and a long-ago friend on an RV road trip across Ohio.

Sophomore year has just begun, and Angie is miserable. Her girlfriend, KC, has moved away; her good friend, Jake, is keeping his distance; and the resident bully has ramped up an increasingly vicious and targeted campaign to humiliate her. An over-the-top statue dedication planned for her sister, who died in Iraq, is almost too much to bear, and it doesn't help that her mother has placed a symbolic empty urn on their mantel. At the ceremony, a soldier hands Angie a final letter from her sister, including a list of places she wanted the two of them to visit when she got home from the war. With her mother threatening to send Angie to a “treatment center” and the situation at school becoming violent, Angie enlists the help of her estranged childhood friend, Jamboree. Along with a few other outsiders, they pack into an RV and head across the state on the road trip Angie's sister did not live to take. It might be just what Angie needs to find a way to let her sister go, and find herself in the process.

I loved this book! Fat Angie: Rebel Girl Revolution is the continuation of Fat Angie which won the Stonewall Award and follows the story of Angie, a fat, queer girl who is on a journey to discover her identity while enduring the ruthless bigotry of her fellow classmates as well as mourning the loss of her soldier sister. This is the follow up I had hoped it would be. While there are some dark moments, this book sparks hope for the reader and is complete with 80s music references, an epic road trip and some amazing new characters. This book is a celebration of queer and fat bodies and I can't wait to read more.

Fortunately and refreshingly, the text gives Angie no weight-loss arc…A welcomingly awkward, offbeat journey for a "gay-girl with many heartaches.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title. Unfortunately, the writing style and tone of the two main characters wasn’t one that I could get into. I did not finish this book and will give it a middling rating.

Love love love! I honestly can’t even find the words to express how much i enjiyed thus book! The author had a great way of writing and really does a great job of allowing you to immerse yourself in the book.

My enjoyment of Fat Angie: Rebel Girl Revolution was significantly hampered by having not read the first book in the series. When I requested the book I didn't realize it wasn't a standalone and while you can read this book without having read the first one (which is, unhelpfully, also titled Fat Angie) you'll spend the first several chapters perplexed by what is happening, why it matters, and why so much plot is flying directly at your head at such a high rate of speed. The author tries to catch readers up, but it really is more of a refresher for past readers than a fresh introduction. At some point I might try re-reading this book after having read the first one. I suspect it will result in a change of rating.
