This was a great, funny, inclusive, feminist book. Definitely a must-read for the Tumblr generation.
LaGina R, Reviewer
I think this book would be a great read for anyone that has a negative body image. So dont let the title trick you into thinking that its just for us "big" girls because there is so many ideas, tips, positive affirmations and confidence boosters for anyone regardless of size.
