Yes, that’s a tig old bitty on the front. Not a donut. 🤦🏼‍♀️ This is the February pick for our #spinesandwines bookclub and I can already tell our zoom discussion is going to be GOOD. Our main character, Rachel has got some serious mom issues and because of this she engages in severely disordered eating. While visiting a froyo place to get a teeny tiny low-cal snack, she meets a worker there named Miriam who is gorgeous, plus-size, and completely comfortable in her own skin. Once Miriam makes a custom froyo sundae for Rachel, everything starts to change. Whew y’all, this book! So much to unpack. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so thoroughly lodged in a character’s head before. Broder gives Rachel to us, warts and all. My heart would hurt so hard for her while simultaneously cringing at her internal dialogue.
