Jemima J is my all time favourite book, I’ve read this so many times I can’t even keep count. I’ve read a lot of negative reviews on this book because they believe that Green was trashing fat people but I don’t feel like that’s the case at all. I feel like Jemima is real and the struggle she goes through with food and exercise is what a lot of us (well me anyway) can relate to. I think Green does a good job of illustrating the expectation of society as well as the ways of social pressures. I definitely enjoyed it. It’s a book filled with romance, heartbreak, growth. You’ll defo find yourself laughing out loud. One I could read on a beach or cosied up in bed with a cup of hot chocolate. Jemima J is overweight. Treated like a maid by her thin and social climbing roommates, and lorded over by the beautiful Geraldine (less talented yet over paid) at the Kilburn Herald. Jemima finds that her on consolation is food. Add this to her passion for her charming sexy colleague Ben, Jemima knows her life is in need of a serious change. With a fast paced plot and a surprise ending that no reader will see coming.
