Thank you to Algonquin for a review copy of this book. 

I do not recommend this book, as it is full of fatphobia, body shaming, dieting, restriction, over-exercising and self loating. And not in a good, redemptive way that the author feels good about themselves at the end. CW for weight loss surgery on top of all of that. 

We love a book with a plus size protagonist where her size is not part of the plot!!!

This book is so well written. I love the mystery aspect of it. More importantly, I love how Laurie realizes she doesn't have to have it all figured out. I basically am Laurie!!

This is such an important book about disability justice, fighting ableism, and being a better ally to the disabled community. This book taught me so much and I am inspired to learn and do more. 

This book - True Biz by Sara Nović - taught me so much. And it is such a good book. I highly recommend reading this. It takes place at a school for Deaf students, and the reader gets to see the trials of living in our society that is building for the hearing. But also, the joys of being in the D/deaf communities and how rich communication can be without hearing. 

If you read the physical copy, there are excerpts throughout the book that teach some signs and also about D/deaf history and culture.
