Synopsis

No Big Deal is a fierce and body-positive celebration of friendship, first crushes and loving yourself

Emily knows she's smart. Emily knows she's funny. Emily knows she's awesome. Emily knows she's fat.

She doesn't need anyone to tell her any of these things - she likes herself and she likes her body. She just thinks it's time everyone else caught up.

With a newly-slim bestie, a mum knee-deep in fad diets and increasing pressure to change, Emily faces a constant battle to be her true self. But when she meets gorgeous Joe, things start to change. Somehow, she's going to have to convince everyone, including herself, that it's no big deal.

No Big Deal is a funny and inspiring debut YA novel from Bethany Rutter: influencer, editor and a fierce UK voice in the debate around body positivity.

Reviews

Bethany Rutter's debut is full of fierce heart and the body positivity you needed as a teen and still do today. No Big Deal is an iconic love song to everyone out there who knows that life isn't one size fits all!
Julie Murphy, author of Dumplin
This is a book about the radical idea that fat girls are cute, stylish, fun, lovable, smart, dateable, carefree. There aren’t enough books like that and I wish I’d had it when I was a cute chub teen. Every school library needs this liberating book. Please read No Big Deal... Please share No Big Deal with the teens in your life! No Big Deal is a VERY BIG DEAL.
