The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things | Carolyn Mackler
Feeling like she does not fit in with the other members of her family, who are all thin, brilliant, and good-looking, fifteen-year-old Virginia tries to deal with her self-image, her first physical relationship, and her disillusionment with some of the people closest to her.

Between Pick and So-So. Fifteen-year-old Virginia feels like a plus-sized black sheep in her family, especially next to her perfect big brother Byron. Not to mention her best friend has moved, leaving Virginia to navigate an awkward relationship with a boy alone...

I loved this first choice for #24b4Monday (for which I will be reading banned books). It's a coming of age story about a chubby girl from an over-acheiving family as she learns that the world shouldn't be about how other people view you - it's about how you view yourself. It was engaging and I loved the main character, Virginia.

ephemeralwaltz I also loved this when I read it! 5y

A solid 4 stars for this cute teen read about self discovery and love in a world that seems anything but made for you.

The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler is a frustrating but heartwarming story about a girl in high school that is struggling to get comfortable in her own skin while navigating the both the tricky world of high school and some very difficult family situations.

Went to the public library to use the free restroom. Bought a book. My husband said, “How did you buy just one?” 😘 I love him! Side note: Ocean Beach Public Library has a fantastic book sale section.

Christine Ooh, which Ocean Beach? San Diego? If so I must check out their book sale, haven‘t been to that branch in a while! 6y
JackieSmith @Christine yes, San Diego! It‘s even organized by genre. 👍🏻 6y
Christine Oh yay! I will be heading there soon. :) (edited) 6y
Peddler410 I read this when it first came out. I‘ve recently purchased a new copy. 6y

I‘m LOVING this book so far! I wasn‘t sure what I was expecting when I started it, but this has a more sexuality-coming-of-age story than just an adolescent girl who‘s insecure about her weight. I was almost worried about it feeling a little too “childish” for me, but honestly reading in Virginia‘s point of view gave me flashbacks to how I felt at that age; Definitely worth the hype! #currentread #mountTBR

WhatDeeReads I loved Mackler as a teen. I've read all of her books, including this one, it is definitely a fun romp. 7y
WarpedSweetness I read this book a few years ago! It was really good! 7y
CindyMyLifeIsLit I seem to remember reading this (or part of it) years ago and laughing out loud. It's really funny! 7y
Zelma This is a fabulous book. Definitely humorous, but with a lot of serious topics as well. So well done. 7y
