Description

This is a weird one, y’all. We’re taking a trip back to the early 80s where fiction for teens and pre-teens came with some awful, upsetting messaging, but also some fantastic clothing choices, some excellent descriptions of weird children’s birthday parties, a cute boy and a very good dog. It's Princess Amy by Melinda Pollowitz!I figured I’d probably have to issue some warnings at some point, re-reading vintage YA, so here we are.TW/CW: assault, jerkward rich bros, disordered eating, and severe anti-fat bias.I want to know what you'd put in the epilogue to this book - please comment or email your ideas because I am desperate to fix this.  ...Music: purple-planet.com Join our Patreon for complete mayhem, shenanigans, and more!
