Coming of age as a Fat brown girl in a white Connecticut suburb is hard. Harder when your whole life is on fire, though.

A NEW ENGLAND BOOK AWARD WINNER!

Charlie Vega is a lot of things. Smart. Funny. Artistic. Ambitious. Fat.

People 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.

But 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?

Because it's time people did.

A 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.

Puppy destroyed in days
Color: PINK, Color: PINK
My 5 1/2 month old Maltese destroyed this toy in a few days so I would definitely say it is not chew resistance.

Low/mid-tier toy at a high price point
Color: YELLOW
I have two pitbulls and they LOVE their babies! Sadly, one of them likes to tear their babies apart when he gets anxious, so it was time to look for some new ones. They seem to favor any stuffed animal can be "nommed" on (suckled), so when I came across this duck rope toy, I thought I'd give it a try! The toy arrived quickly, did not have any visible defects, and looked exactly as it does in the listing photos. It has a body filled with stuffing, crinkly arms, and a rope neck. There is one squeaker in the main body section. The minute the dogs saw me unpack the duck, they were at my feet and staring at me like "hand over the baby, woman." So, I did..... And they hated it :( For some reason, my dogs have totally rejected this toy... All they do is sniff it? They typically LOVE rope toys or anything that is elongated and allows them to play tug-o-war. So, I am not sure what the deal is with this duck. *shrug* Currently, this stuffed duck rope toy is listed for $10.49 on sale, down from the regular price of $14.99. I consider this toy to be low end to mid tier at best. It's something you would expect to find at your local discount/dollar store. Based on the lower quality, I think the current price is higher than I would be willing to pay for this toy. While the toy is exactly as depicted in the listing photos, it is nothing special and definitely is NOT "indestructible."

Durable and my pup loves it
Color: YELLOW, Color: YELLOW
My pup loves squeaky toys. The problem is she also likes to tear up the toy to get the squeaky out. Finding a toy that she enjoys and it have the durability to stand up to her is a challenge. I decided to give the CJZJPV Plush goose a try and I’m glad I did. She absolutely loves the toy and it has stood up to her chewing and shaking. The thing I notice about many dog toys is there always seems to be a bad seam or weak spot in the toy. My pup will find this imperfection and go ahead to dismantle the toy. The seams on the CJZJPV are done well and there are no protruding eyes or flaw for her to get her teeth into. This is a good, durable dog toy.

A huge hit for the whole pack
Color: GREEN
​Finding a toy that appeals to multiple dogs with different play styles is tough, but this interactive green goose is an absolute home run. The combination of the crinkle wings and the squeaker keeps them entertained and busy way longer than a standard plush toy. ​Despite the daily thrashing, tugging, and chewing, the durability has been incredibly impressive. It’s the perfect size for larger breeds to grip, yet lightweight enough for smaller dogs to carry around by the neck.
