FREE July 15 - 19! The Fat Rules by Misti D. Mosteller
“Smart, witty, funny, painful, honest, brutal, forgiving. Truly amazing and left me wanting more!”
“This was laugh-out-loud funny and relatable. I felt like I was reading my best friend's diary.”
—Amazon Five Star Reviews
Maddy Quinn survived being a fat kid and a fat adolescent, but being fat in her twenties is too much. Maddy is a smart, funny, chunky monkey living in a world of skinnies with only an XXL sweater set to keep her safe.
Living at home, Maddy attends a nearby university where she majors in Political Science and Not Being Noticed. Her mother would return her to the womb for safekeeping if only there was room for a 266 1/2 lb. adult, and her grandmother has never met an emotion that couldn't be suffocated with mashed potatoes or chicken fried steak.
Despite the over-love of a nutty family and the support of good, but skinny friends, waddling around campus is getting harder. In an effort to keep daily humiliations to a minimum, Maddy lives by rules she's developed to hide in plain sight.
Fat Rule #2
Never run in front of other humans, even if being chased by a mass-murdering maniac. Better to die with honor than let that jelly jiggle!
But when her birthday turns into Celebration Humiliation, Maddy's best friend, Sam, gives her a dose of tough love that would put an elephant down, setting Maddy on a life-changing course that includes Richard Simmons and a date with a college guy, or two.
