Book Synopsis

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

'No Big Deal is an iconic love song to everyone out there who knows that life isn't one size fits all' –Julie Murphy, bestselling author of Dumplin'

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.
