Big Bones
Big Bones | Laura Dockrill
7 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
The heartwarming new novel from the sparkling Laura Dockrill, introducing Bluebelle, and her moving, hilarious take on food, body image and how we look after ourselves and others. It's a food diary. I have to tell the truth. That's the point. Bluebelle, aka BB, aka Big Bones - is a sixteen-year-old girl encouraged to tackle her weight even though she's perfectly happy, thank you, and getting on with her life and in love with food. Then a tragedy in the family forces BB to find a new relationship with her body and herself. . . Tuck in for best mates, belly laughs, boys and the best Bakewell tart. ----- Love for BIG BONES 'Big Bones is the book I wish I'd had as a teenager and Bluebelle is a friend I wish I had today. Laura has written a beautiful love letter to some of the most important things in life: friends, family and food.' Linsdey Kelk 'Stuffed with lashings of laugh-out-loud loveliness (just wait until you read about Bum Tills...), relatable real-life truths and love in all its complicated, dizzying forms (food-love, friend-love, sisterly-love, boy-love, self-love), this is, quite simply, the best YA book about self-esteem and body image I've ever read' Lovereading

Oh this was lovely! I loved BB‘s confidence and determination! What a great girl. A lot of talk of yummy food and love for her family, just loveliness on paper. And this last line... got me hook, line and sinker!

This is my last week of reading on a mattress on the floor because my new bed arrives next week!! Already enjoying this, it‘s funny, foody and set in England, which is nice as I‘ve read lots of American books lately (they‘ve been great but I like to be back on home turf)

These are all my ARCs and review copies I need to get through over this month and next. Eight is a lot but I take comfort knowing I‘ve managed to get through more than this in less time in the past. Are any of these on your wishlist? I literally have no idea where to start tackling them! 💛🤷🏼‍♀️ #arc #newrelease #bookblogger #booklover #bookish #bookaddict #bibliophile #bookpile #bookstack #reviewcopies #reviewer

Thank you Tina Mories and Hot Key Books for this copy of Big Bones by Laura Dockrill for review. I‘ve heard a lot of good about Dockrill though I‘ve never read her before. I look forward to reading this one as it sounds like a book all women should read at least once. Have you seen this one? It‘s on sale now! #feminist #bodypositive #bodyposi #contemporaryfiction #contemporary #bookblogger #bookish #booklover
