Such a cute quick read! It reminded me of Dumplin I absolutely loved it. Beamer is one of my favorite book characters he is so unexpected.

This is the authors American debut novel so I was cautiously optimistic about it. This is a charming YA novel that features a plus-sized protagonist. It’s written as a series of Discovery Journal entities - it immediately made me think of this as a teenage Bridget Jones. I found it relatable and loved that it focused on friendship, confidence and self-love more than the romance side of things.

I like the format of the book, but I found the narrator to be quite annoying and not really well fleshed out. The author tried too hard to sound like a teenager and it shows.
