In a chatty, big-sister tone, authors Holliday (a plus-size model and influencer) and Coon encourage teens to love themselves and to care for both their physical and mental health. Topics covered included fashion and style (“Find Your Fit”), food and eating disorders (“Feed Me”), and how to deal with bullies (“Buh-Bye, Frenemies”). The practical suggestions from a variety of perspectives; teenager-friendly format (each chapter includes a quiz); and copious resources and encouragement makes this a valuable resource for readers navigating a complicated life stage. Consultant bios, further reading, and resources are appended.
