Why read it?
1 author picked The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

And the book takes a hard but hopeful look at the ideas of perfection and expectations and all the ways we are flawed, but also worthy of love.
From Kris' list on YA with fabulous plus-size heroines.
