Let me just say that I KNOW David Levithan would burn this book! I mean, the cover alone would make Levithan and Lagerfeld have heart attacks! (Even though they are SUPER healthy and SUPER fit, I am sure!)
There is one thing that I didn't feel mixed about, that I just plain liked and appreciated, and that was Savannah's sister being gay but it not being a big deal! Because love is love! So that part was very cool. Very cool.
But the weight issue was hard...
Admittedly, I have my weight issue. I also feel it is very funny that NOW body acceptance is in, where was it when I was heavier! hahah! And I love that when I go to stores I see kids clothing in all sizes, that is just really neat. And I can't imagine what it would have been like to grow up that way.
But...
yes, there is always a but with me, huh?
I do think that the book is super tough on Savannah's mom. I get Savannah's mom. I do. I am Savannah's mom, except I did the weight loss the "right" way, it taking nearly four years to lose 217 lbs.
This a very good piece.
I just don't know how I feel. I really don't. I think that this book is just a hard one for me. I would love to hear from others.
