Sweet victory! What a refreshing young adult novel about a plus-sized, Bangladesh, lesbian named Shireen Malik, who is selected for a baking reality TV show. Each chapter title is a clever pun that perfectly pairs with the storyline.

The author’s note was such a special treat to tie everything together. She says she wrote what her teenage self would have wanted to read: Fat characters existing and living who they are with an uncomplicated relationship to food and their bodies, and supportive friends and family who love them unconditionally.
