YA: Big Boned by Jo Watson

Big Boned will be published September 21st! ⁠⁠Get your copy here!⁠⁠ I love reading Lori’s growth throughout the book through relatable language and a plot that’s often overlooked. Through art, and the help of her therapist, Lori transforms her mindset to self-acceptance. She exhibits that beauty is truly starts from within. Her story made me think of a quote from flights- “before helping others, put on your own mask.” Lori finally did that and I celebrated with her.
