Giveaway: DIARY OF A MAD FAT GIRL by Stephanie McAfee
Book Description:
In DIARY OF A MAD FAT GIRL McAfee delivers a fast-paced tale about Graciela “Ace” Jones, known in her small town of Bugtussle, Mississippi as a feisty high school teacher with an outsized presence and a big mouth to match. Readers quickly learn that Ace is mad—mad at her best friend Lilly who cancels their annual trip to Panama City for mysterious reasons, mad at her boss Catherine for “riding her ass like a fat lady on a Rascal,” mad at her friend Chloe’s abusive husband and especially at Mason McKenzie, the love of her life, who has shown up with a marriage proposal three years too late. The only one she isn’t mad at is her near-constant canine companion, chiweenie Buster Loo.In an effort to tackle her anger, Ace decides to take matters into her own hands as she works to take down Chloe’s philandering husband, give Mason a second chance, and try and get to the bottom of a multitude of other scandals plaguing Bugtussle—not to mention all while trying to navigate Southern small-town politics and prejudices! With a sharp and distinctive voice, McAfee’s DIARY OF A MAD FAT GIRL is a debut not to be missed.
