Fat Witch Summer by Lizzy Ives
4.75

Thrash became a witch on the last day of school, in the library bathroom, because of course that's where it happened.

Fat Witch Summer by Lizzy Ives

QUICK SUMMARY
16 year old Thrash lives authentically as herself, she doesn't use enchantments, not that there's anything wrong with enchantments of course. When she discovers she has a knack for magic and she'll receive one of the three sanctioned gifts, Thrash is adamant she doesn't want glamour as her glamour witch mother wishes. Only problem is, it's her mothers choice and not hers.

But maybe there's another option, when she's invited along for a road trip with a trio of cool witches from her school to steal their own gifts.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Thank you NetGally & Sword & Rose Press.
I'll be completely honest, I don't totally remember requesting this book, and was hesitant going in, don't have a reason just happens sometimes.
My hesitancy was quickly abolished with this book. It's cute, it's fun, but it deals with issues in a way I really think young people can relate to. The author brought us a diverse set of characters who we all love in their own way. The only thing I don't think matches the story for me is the title, its so much more than just about the one fat character.
