{"product_id":"fat-chance-charlie-vega-1","title":"Fat Chance, Charlie Vega","description":"Coming of age as a Fat brown girl in a white Connecticut suburb is hard.\n\nHarder when your whole life is on fire, though.\n\nA New England Book Award Winner!\n\nCharlie Vega is a lot of things. Smart. Funny. Artistic. Ambitious. Fat.\n\nPeople sometimes have a problem with that last one. Especially her mom. Charlie wants a good relationship with her body, but it's hard, and her mom leaving a billion weight loss shakes on her dresser doesn't help. The world and everyone in it have ideas about what she should look like: thinner, lighter, slimmer-faced, straighter-haired. Be smaller. Be whiter. Be quieter.\n\nBut there's one person who's always in Charlie's corner: her best friend Amelia. Slim. Popular. Athletic. Totally dope. So when Charlie starts a tentative relationship with cute classmate Brian, the first worthwhile guy to notice her, everything is perfect until she learns one thing--he asked Amelia out first. So is she his second choice or what? Does he even really see her?\n\nBecause it's time people did.\n\nA sensitive, funny, and painfully honest coming-of-age story with a wry voice and tons of chisme, Fat Chance, Charlie Vega tackles our relationships to our parents, our bodies, our cultures, and ourselves.\n\nAn NPR Best Book of the Year\nAn Amazon Best Children’s Book of the Year\nA POPSUGAR Best New Young Adult Novel\nA Cosmopolitan Best New Book\nA Bustle Most Anticipated Debut\nA Forbes Most Notable Young Adult Book\nA YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Nominee\nA Latinxs in Publishing Best Books of the Year\nA Kirkus Reviews Best Young Adult Book of the Year\nA Business Insider Best Young Adult Romance Book\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0823451313\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0823451313.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Maldonado, Crystal\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43039476482109,"sku":"BVV.0823451313.VG","price":6.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0823451313-0.jpg?v=1773349800","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/fat-chance-charlie-vega-1","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
