The Anti-Cool Girl by Rosie Waterland

Everything we found funny is funny as long as it is not happening to us.

Reading this memoir of childhood, growing up in a difficult household, growing up with obesity, and other health complications (physical or emotional) sound funny until it hits you that it was all happening to a real person. A person who was going through all of it but came out with enough shine to tell it with a lighter mood.

The struggle to fit in a society which doesn't look like you because it has not seen what you have been through.

Worth reading even if you're not in contemporary first hand accounts of peoples lives.

Love
