Fat Girls Dance is the body positive, BIPOC, queer version of Bring it On! that we all need in our lives! A five-star read for me! This memorable, joyful, painfully true story will resonate with any woman who's ever felt too large by society's standards, both in physical size, talent, or emotionality. Meredith does a phenomenal job bringing her diverse multidimensional characters to life swiftly and realistically. It's easy to picture and connect with these women because we've either known them or been them. This book is about so many things all at once: learning to love (or at minimum, be comfortable in) your physical body, jumping into and maintaining new creative endeavors in adulthood, navigating romantic relationships and friendships, and challenging old ideas about what it means to be "healthy." This was a phenomenal read and I can't wait for it's debut! Thank you thank you thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to review this title. This story was beautiful and powerful and so important and the fact that it is based on a TRUE story makes it that much better. Be sure to look for this in October!
I didn’t complete this story. As I read I found there were themes I am not comfortable reading that were not mentioned anywhere in the description of the book.
Thank you NetGalley and Kensington for the opportunity to read this ARC.
This book was an enjoyable and uplifting experience. As a plus-size woman, I found myself cheering for all the characters. The true story basis and body-positive messages were just what I needed.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!
Super lovely and fun read. As a plus size person I didn’t realize how much I was missing seeing those bodies represented in books ! I loved all the messages this book gave and love even more it’s based on a true story.
Being a thick goddess myself, I always advocate for more plus-size tropes, which is why I was thrilled to see this title on Net Galley. The book did not disappoint. I loved that it was based on a true story and appreciated the light Meredith shined on these beautiful, curvy characters.
Liv, Reese, and Faith, three bold and talented plus-size women, defy societal norms by launching FatGirlsDance, a viral movement celebrating body positivity through weekly online dance challenges. As they navigate fame, friendship, and personal growth, their journey unfolds with humor and heart, inspiring readers to embrace their own uniqueness and dreams.
A beautiful exploration of girls and their experiences with their bodies. I thought Meredith did a fantastic job with the collection of stories. Each piece was thoughtful and brave. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
