watson_my_shelf 's review for:

Survival of the Thickest by Michelle Buteau
4.5

As with most memoirs I seem to read, I knew nothing about Michelle going into this. But I am now obsessed with her. I love this memoir so much. As a plus size woman, I related to Michelle so much. To some of the stories she told about growing up, about her relationship with her body in relation to the world around her. Not to mention, she is so funny. I think anyone can take away something from Michelle's book. There are so many good life lessons in here. I know I learned about what it's like to grow up in a black body in America. Michelle is such a good story teller. 

Audiobook - I listened to this on audio and highly recommend!
