Brittany Gibbons’ book Fat Girl Walking is not a diet book. It’s not a self-help book (although there she shares some very helpful things).

Hiaasen had me smirking as wacky hijinks occurred and at the center was murder and a frozen arm, flanked by a cop trying to get back on the force and more cliches and […]
