Love for BIG BONES
‘
Big Bones is the
book I wish I’d had as a teenager and Bluebelle is a
friend I wish I had today . Laura has written
a beautiful love letter to some of the most important things in life:
friends ,
family and
food .’ Linsdey Kelk
‘Stuffed with lashings of
laugh-out-loud loveliness (just wait until you read about Bum Tills…),
relatable real-life truths and love in all its complicated, dizzying forms (food-love, friend-love, sisterly-love, boy-love, self-love), this is, quite simply,
the best YA book about self-esteem and body image I’ve ever read ‘ Lovereading
