]]> Comment on Why I Use The F Word by Lex http://www.fatgirlreading.com/why-i-use-the-f-word/comment-page-1/#comment-2612 Lex Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:33:51 +0000 http://www.fatgirlreading.com/?p=15#comment-2612 I know this is a comment board, and therefore I do not need to address this like a letter... but what the heck, this is my comment and I can do as I please. Dear Angie, I am also (gosh even writing it seems hard, if you can believe that) fat. I found your blog accidentally while searching for books with themes of fat acceptance or with fat main characters. Within the packed and overflowing lists of unrelated Google matches I found your blog. Unsure at first (for the title intrigued and surprised me) I jumped in and found a world unfun and beautiful prose. You (my fine blogger) make the world a better place. I hear your words and your insistence and while I may not agree with you on all points (no two people ever will) you have opened new doors to me. I may never be able to say the F word out loud like you do but I certainly feel a little more pride after reading your blogs. You have a good heart, and I plan on reading everything you write until I die (or get bored which is equally possible). I plan (in vain probably) to be a published author one day, and I plan to take some of what I have learned from you along with me. Thanks for being awesome.

I read the whole thing last night it was fantastic! Notice how all this go's on at school but she comes home and has to act like every thing is okay , Even the mean girls fake that they are her friend in front of her mom. You never tell your parents what goes on it's like an unspoken mutual agreement . And the teachers get paid to sit around and act like they give a shit all they care about is the school reputation each student is just one more chance to mess that up . Nobody gives a shit . They never will. This is what really goes on. This is my life. I bought this book 2 days ago . I read the whole thing last night it was fantastic!

It was completely overlooked when it came out, but I'm aiming to fight for it on the YHBA list (either this year or possibly next year since it's being rereleased). Even though I read it the year it came out, it's a story that has really stuck with me. More people need to know about it! THANK YOU!!!! for loving Dani Noir like it should be loved!
