I want to talk to you.

The weird alchemy of writing is that every book is both you, the author, and also not you at the same time.  Every word is a high-wire strung between empathetic imagination and painful self-reflection. It’s navel-gazing and clairvoyance all at once.  Therapy and observation.  No one character is me and every single character is me. But with Curvy Girl, there is a lot of me in each and every word. 🌻 I’m a small fat.  That means while I’m plus-sized, I still have a lot of thin privilege.  I can find fashionable, professional, and sexy (thank you, #gabifresh!) things to wear.  I can fit in airplane, car, and bus seats.  I don’t experience medical fatphobia, and my hourglass shape means that my body is still close to the idealized Western woman.  I’m also white, cis, able-bodied, and feminine—the privilege around me and my body runs very deep, and very wide. My body is part of the fat conversation, but it should not be the center of it.  So too with Ireland Mills: her journey is only a slice of what fat romance could and should be. 🌻 Here's why I wrote this slice.  We live our entire lives *in* our bodies; we are loved and cherished and fucked in these bodies, and we are also harmed and frightened in these bodies.  I don’t buy into that Gnostic, the-soul-is-better-than-the-body shit, because I believe there is a unity between the two, I believe that our bodies deserve better. 🌻 But sometimes believing that is hard.  So this one’s for us.  Those of us who still want to fuck in the dark, where our bodies can’t be seen, those of us who wince when someone touches our rolls, our FUPAs, our stretch marks.  We who have forgotten how to hope we can be desirable, we who feel like we have to settle or change, we who want someone to look at us and catch fire with need.  That last bit is what Ireland gets in Curvy Girl, and that's why I wrote this slice of romance. We deserve desire (when and if we want it), and we deserve stories which reflect that 🙌 🌻 Aaaaand as a reward for reading that longass post, I’m doing a signed paperback giveaway for five copies of Curvy Girl!  To enter: 🌻 Follow my account and like this post 🌻 tell me something beautiful about yourself!

I know I already told you this in my stories, but The Wicked King ate me. It sucked the marrow right out of my bones, and all I want to do is stare at a wall and whimper. The only cure for a book hangover is another book hangover—do you guys have any recommendations??? I need another book to hurt me enough so I forget about THIS book hurting me. #thewickedking #hollyblack #bookhangover
