Some of her books are amazing and I love them. Peter Hatcher from Superfudge & Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is a character I super related to when I was a kid. he was like the male Beezus Quimby.

It was, and some ways the “we were all fat” made it kind of harder because some of us were actually fat (me) and some just thought they were fat. Ugh.

I remember some girls in my age group reading them, but I never understood the attraction.

And teen mags fed us terrible stuff. No plus-sized. No voluptuous. Just fat.
What’s weird is that I was aware of what popular media was telling me and I also knew it was wrong.
This was one piece of dysfunction as a result of our generation.
