If you want another girl going for the crown… Winning by Lara DelozaĪlexandra Miles is going to be Homecoming Queen, come hell or high water. I love that both Molly and Reid are chubby, and that even though Molly struggles a lot with her self-confidence, she learns to be more comfortable in her own skin. And it’s not the only book by Becky Albertalli featuring a badass fat protagonist: Leah on the Offbeat checks off all those boxes as well. But when she has to share the spot with another intern, rivalry soon turns to friendship and friendship turns to feelings. Abbey Ives is a fat girl fashionista with a fashion blog and dreams of making it big in the fashion industry-but first she needs to land the summer internship at her favorite boutique. If you want more body positivity… The Summer of Jordi Perez by Amy Spaldingįat girls deserve romcoms and fashionista moments just as much as anyone else, and in The Summer of Jordi Perez Abby gets that and so much more. And his show stopping moment has more to do with basketball than pageants, but this book is still full of just as much heart. For Will, it’s her unabashed confidence in being fat, and for Bijan it’s his ethnicity. If you want to see more characters overcoming prejudice… Here To Stay by Sara FarizanĪlthough the issues Bijan is facing in this lovely book by the author of Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel and If You Could Be Mine are very different from Willowdean’s, they’re both teenagers trying to overcome prejudice and negative stereotypes.
