I’m switching it up a little this week with my Can’t Wait Wednesday book, because technically I didn’t<\/em> wait. I’ve already read (and loved!) it. BUT! It just recently got a cover, and OH MY STARS is it BEE YOU TEE FULL!!!<\/strong> And I still can’t wait for it, because I can’t wait to hold a physical copy in my hands. Okay. Now that I’m done yelling about how amazing this book is, this week’s Can’t Wait Wednesday book is…<\/p>\n

An intersectional, feminist YA anthology from some of today's most exciting voices across a span of genres, all celebrating body diversity and fat acceptance through short stories.
\nFat girls and boys and nonbinary teens are: friends who lift each other up, heroes who rescue themselves, big bodies in space, intellects taking up space, and bodies looking and feeling beautiful. They express themselves through fashion, sports and other physical pursuits, through food, and music, and art. They are flirting and falling in love. They are loving to themselves and one another. With stories that feature fat main characters starring in a multitude of stories and genres, and written by authors who live these lives too, this is truly a unique collection that shows fat young people the representation they deserve.
\nWith a foreword by Aubry Gordon, creator of Your Fat Friend, and with stories by:Nafiza Azad, Chris Baron, Sheena Boekweg, Linda Camacho, Kelly deVos, Alex Gino, Claire Kann, amanda lovelace, Hillary Monahan, Cassandra Newbould, Francina Simone, Rebecca Sky, Monique Gray Smith, Ren\u00e9e Watson, Catherine Adel West, Jennifer Yen<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
