making use of my best resource! *winning smile*

Hi all,

Am looking for resources for a couple of friends of mine, and was wondering if any of you have some links/suggestions off the top of your head!

1. I am looking for novels that feature positive portrayals of women who aren't thin.

2. I am looking for resources to help someone who's currently in a pretty bad pit of depression but having trouble articulating that and reaching out. That sounds all too familiar to me, but I don't recommend my own strategy of going and going until you snap. Anything about first reaching out for professional support or recognising that's what happening is an illness and not a moral failing would be most welcome.

♥!

Whoops! Read it again and realized you said women. Food, Girls, and Other Things I Can't Have is about a dude. Sorry!

Also, there's one... I should probably just give up and google it, but there's a teen book about a chubs girl actress that came out recently-ish? I can't remember what it was called. I didn't actually read it, but I read the BookMaster summary of it. She leaves her hometown and goes to LA? I could probably find it with some digging!
