This anthology contains some beautiful stories and poems, but what I appreciate most about it is how it offered me a perspective on the intersectionality that fat & queer individuals may experience. Some parts were very relatable to me, whereas other parts were absolutely new to me and challenged my own internalised fatphobia. The editors offered an interesting perspective into the process of compiling this anthology and into what gets left out. I appreciated this. Because it is a selection I would ask readers to engage with the subject further and not treat this as the only instance where they engage with the topics that are introduced. While I highly recommend this anthology, I do think it should come with a few content-warnings such as: Strong language, instances of homophobia, transphobia and fatphobia, eating disorders, drug and substance abuse, sexual assaults, self-harm
Graphic: Eating disorder, Fatphobia, Homophobia, Transphobia
Moderate: Drug abuse, Self harm, Sexual assault
Minor: Racism
