No heavy analysis. Just keeping track. And then, maybe, vibes.

erineffdee commented on ChaosReader's review of Future Me Is Fat
Honestly, I love this book. It is like a hug to younger versions of myself and a way to look positively into the future, particularly when it comes to living in a larger body, which I always have. It is about a woman so fed up with the fat bias she is facing at the doctor's office, she goes and breaks the scale, only to discover that now it works as a time machine. So she then not only goes back to different eras of time in general, but also to specific points in her past and to her future. It is cute and funny, while also being emotional, and it made me teary-eyed. I think it handled a lot of heavy things, like fatphobia and eating disorders, while still keeping the energy light and optimistic.
So formatting-wise this is a small black and white graphic novel, with one panel a page. But even though it's small and there are limitations with only being able to fit one panel, I think the images hit home and everything flowed smoothly. And I truly just love her illustration style, and especially the way she illustrates the time travel sequences.
I am excited to see what Mollie Cronin makes in the future, and I love that this is a representation of Fatness in media.

i just wanted to come on & say thank you to PB + its creators + the wonderful community on here. i joined PB in early august because (1) discussion-based book space sounded amazing & (2) i desperately needed a distraction while waiting for my bar exam results 😵💫
during bar prep i only got through 2 books in three months, i couldn’t listen to music for months because i was scared that lyrics would take up “too much space” in my head, i didn’t dare do anything that wasn’t prep-work. i took the exam in july & then curled up & cried about it for a week before i decided i needed to do something to pass the time until results released, so i decided to start reading again
yesterday, 9/22, i got my results: i passed the bar!!!!!!!!!! i am officially baileyisbooked, esquire 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 (obligatory nothing-i-say-on-here-is-associated-with-my-job-or-license-and-is-my-own-opinion blah blah blah) 👩⚖️⚖️🍾🤍
i am getting sworn in on friday & i am just so grateful & relieved. i am a first gen student for both college & law school, so this really was a crazy push for me & my family is thrilled 😭🫶
i just wanted to say thank you to everyone, especially jennifer & lucy for creating a space like this. PB really saved my sanity for the last 8ish weeks while i waited. everyone has been wonderful, i have been reading books out of my normal range & loving them, & getting to talk to fantastic people about excellent books. it’s just been such a bright spot in what has otherwise been a high anxiety / dread period.
so yeah, that’s kind of it. thank yall for the work you put in & thank you everyone for the discussions & posts & recs & comments & quests & everything else. i hope everyone is having a great week & reading a 5-star read ❤️🩹🫂📖🥹

hi! with so many new and old readers, and with such terribly scary serious news all the time regarding banned books, defunding libraries, laws restricting romance books, and just general access to e-readers/audiobooks on mass, etc., please please please get involved in your local library. show support as much as you can: getting a library card, using resources, going to programs, or even joining their library board/friends of the library. the best way to save books and information is by saving libraries.

Oof. Between the cold open and the next few pages… tough start to this story.
Edit: Tough for my heart, I mean. Not rough tough. Just the feelings.

This book aaaaged me. The pining, the secrets, the self-denial. Never have I ever wanted to shake a group of characters so much.
I still haven’t gotten answers to all of my previous questions. And I have more questions. About Seong-Jae’s past. About Malcolm’s hurts. About Sade’s present. I appreciate the bits we get… I appreciate how the author has me on the line, basically hungry for another breadcrumb.
The other thing that stuck with me was the presentation of non-stereotypical relationships, being aro, and how to navigate what arises in those situations. Food for thought where one exchange challenged my own internal perceptions.
Onward, I go!
