Fat Phobia

by Brienne Daugherty

A young woman's warped relationship with her own body, coupled with intense isolation, leads her to uncover dark memories of her past that threaten to destroy her future. Hundreds of years in the past, a young mother struggles to protect her daughter from an evil town with devious plans for her flesh. It's just a little water weight caused by weekend junk food. At least, that's what Alex tells herself when she begins to feel...heavy. As her body begins mutating right before her very eyes she is forced to discover who can truly be counted on. Lily was always on the heftier side, even as a baby. Sarah just assumed that one day her daughter would have a growth spurt and put her fears to rest. Now it's too late. Lily is in grave danger and Sarah must find a way to protect her from an entire town hellbent on her destruction.

Wow. So relatable and haunting.
The book takes you through two different timelines that connect in an eye opening way.
A Creepy and chilling reminder to pick your friends carefully and to follow your heart and think for yourself rather than constantly worry about what others think and just be another lemming.
Loved this book!
