Much to my delight, this Saturday the local farmers will be putting on an open house of sorts, and that includes the local Beekeepers. Apparently there are quite a few of them in our area and they love to talk to people about bees and the many different philosophies of beekeeping. Is there a good chance I might be coming home with one or two boxes for my bees? Yes, but I will try to control myself.

The Fat Rules
Misti D. Mosteller
4.2 Stars (40 Reviews)
Genre: Humor & Entertainment | Romance

FREE for a limited time

Maddy Quinn survived being a fat kid and a fat adolescent, but being fat in her twenties is too much. Maddy is a smart, funny, chunky monkey living in a world of skinnies with only an XXL sweater set to keep her safe.

Living at home, Maddy attends a nearby university where she majors in Political Science and Not Being Noticed. Her mother would return her to the womb for safekeeping if only there was room for a 266 1/2 lb. adult, and her grandmother has never met an emotion that couldn’t be suffocated with mashed potatoes or chicken fried steak.

Despite the over-love of a nutty family and the support of good, but skinny friends, waddling around campus is getting harder. In an effort to keep daily humiliations to a minimum, Maddy lives by rules she’s developed to hide in plain sight.

Fat Rule #2

Never run in front of other humans, even if being chased by a mass-murdering maniac. Better to die with honor than let that jelly jiggle!

But when her birthday turns into Celebration Humiliation, Maddy’s best friend, Sam, gives her a dose of tough love that would put an elephant down, setting Maddy on a life-changing course that includes Richard Simmons and a date with a college guy, or two.

Part memoir, part wishful thinking, The Fat Rules is a laugh-out-loud ride on the crazy train with genuine, heart-breaking insight into the emotional pain of being overweight. If you’ve ever struggled with weight issues, finding your place in the world, or incapacitating insecurity, Maddy Quinn is right there with you.
