If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy
5.0
funny lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

If The Shoe Fits is what One To Watch, another bachelor-inspired book with a plus-sized main character, wanted to be. Murphy's writing succeeds in the mission to be both body-positive and to show that there is more to a character than what their body looks like. Cindy is fat, but guess what? She is also a person!!! (What a concept!!) Overall, this is a lighthearted, fast-paced read. I went back and forth on what I should rate this title but ended up giving it five stars because of the fun I had while reading it. I highly recommend picking up this retelling of the Cinderella story.
