pickBig was one of my top favorite reads in June. It speaks so deeply to the way girls are spoken to & spoken about. It also really hits home on how things others think are innocent can plant seeds for decreased confidence, body image struggles, and long-term trauma. I like the way this book approaches the topic & how it tackles all of that. June was a great (and insightful!) reading month for me
pickLow pick. It is hard when people pour so much of themselves into a book. This is a good introduction for people who are new to body positivity, eating disorders, and queer and disabled body talk. As someone who is familiar with the issues there wasn't much new for me here. A lot of the book was Instagram quippy talks.
I don't recommend the audio. There are a lot of quotes she reads from I think her IG communityand it started to be confusing.
It's been so hot today! All I want to do is sit in front of a fan and read. So it seemed fitting to start a summer camp book.

Such gorgeous books and goodies from my match, Andrew!
I am so thankful for this, and I'm really excited to start reading.
I reserved it for March, so I'm counting down mood! And maybe the pages will be in the candlelight!🕯📚

pickA book about respecting/loving yourself how you are and standing up for yourself, even when other people don't understand and reject you. The book describes itself as an “emotional exploration of being big in a world that prizes small“ and “a tender portrayal of how you can stand out and feel invisible at the same time“.
