A history book that doesn't read like a history book. This was a hilarious and informative collection that makes you question everything you thought you knew about sexual attitudes of the past.

So like most story collections, some were good and some were not so good. It's definitely a YA focus with a good mix of genres, writing styles, and experiences. It's not often that we see fat main characters so that aspect was unbelievably refreshing, however, certain aspects of the stories can be incredibly triggering (especially in reference to fatphobia and disordered eating). My favorite stories were Prom Queers, Weightless, Breathe You In, and Letting Go.

The story was so unbelievably real and raw and a great way to capture how daily sexism affects women. I didn't particularly jive with the writing style, but I do think it fits well with the way the story is told.

Very cute funny collection, but I think the cartoons are best for someone that's read the particular books they're referencing 

This was a very interesting array of poems. I don't think I fully got all their meanings and I'm unsure if that's because they weren't done well or because I'm just not intelligent enough for that.
