Thanks so much for leaving a comment....Hi Kristin!<br /><br />Thanks so much for leaving a comment. I absolutely agree with you. I'd love for someone to put together a more definitive list, so teens had somewhere to go to look. But I think it's hard to know how the rep will be done without reading all the books. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy UT if you choose to read it!! <3Julia Emberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753714413742116068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048790966720969871.post-64850982864226992402016-06-30T17:42:14.994-04:002016-06-30T17:42:14.994-04:00Thank you for sharing this!

It is so important for young girls and teenage girls to have heroins they can related to and plus size main characters have definitely been lacking. I look forward to picking Unicorn Tracks up soon!Kristinhttp://www.kristinreads.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048790966720969871.post-56280074179016058002016-06-28T10:26:25.874-04:002016-06-28T10:26:25.874-04:00Hi Chelsea!

The world is so vibrant with diversity, no reason books shouldn't reflect that!Julia Emberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753714413742116068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048790966720969871.post-36604419936451376932016-06-28T08:20:51.068-04:002016-06-28T08:20:51.068-04:00While I'm not considered plus sized, I'm n...While I'm not considered plus sized, I'm nowhere near being a size 0. I just consider myself to be average because honestly what adult can fit into half those tiny sizes they sell in the stores? So I can't say I relate to some of these issues but I do understand. <br /><br />I did read Unicorns Tracks about a month ago and loved it. I remember the lines saying that Kara was not a small girl but in my mind it didn't matter. She was a great character that I fell in love with without having seen her. I love that you so effortlessly put in so much diversity in your book. You had the plus sized girl, a girl from a different race and even a f/f romance going on and it just worked. I'd love to see more authors take that technique and apply it to their books too! You're doing a great job with our YA community :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
