Fat Girl by K.L. Montgomery is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. These are standalone stories but with characters that carry over from one story to the next. Claire is going through a reinvention of herself after her divorce. She is fat and had a lifelong challenge with her weight. She is a blogger/journalist who decides to join the online dating world. Her character is relatable and fun. I could relate to her because the character is the same age as myself and so were her references from her past. I liked the story and read this quickly. If you are needing a fun read this is for you.
EMPOWERING!!! This was such a great read! Not necessarily the type of book I usually read, but I’m so glad I did. K.L. had me laughing out loud more times then not. The storyline is awesome and I dare any woman, no matter her size, to walk away from this book without having learned a little something. I know I did.
K.L. Montgomery writes about every day issues and concerns. In this book she writes about a 40 year old woman who is over weight who is just separated from her husband, raising a teenage, son and just moved back in with her parents to try to make it out on her own as a single mom.
This book is all about her struggle with becoming ok with the person she is now. The mom she is trying to be all while dealing with her mothers disapproval of her appearance.
I am totally the woman that K.L. Montgomery wrote about in this book. The body positive message that Montgomery is trying to push here is that no matter what you look like on the outside. It is truly what is on the inside that matters and that everyone needs to just take a look at themselves from the inside out!
