Fat Protagonist (18 books)

Plus size, curvy, voluptuous… call it what you want, this is a list of fiction books featuring larger protagonists.

Guidelines

Books should be intended for YA audience and older
No weight loss storylines / fat character stays fat
A little *spice* is fine, but that should not be the main focus. (Sorry, Taken By The Billionaire WereBear Shifter.)
