Thanks"
A 'fat lead' would be a leading or main character that is considered plus-sized. For #22, a queer lead would be a main or leading character who is on the LGBTQ+ spectrum (gay, lesbian, transgender, non-binary, etc.) Hope that answers your questions!

Updated msg 29Just finished #15 (song lyric as title) - Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann. This is a really well-done debut! I truly appreciate the ace representation in the book! “There’s something powerful about making a grand entrance in a fantastic pair of red heels.” I also like how the author drew the characters. However, the plot was jumpy, and time passed between chapters without warning. I look forward to reading more from her in the future. Recommend! 4 stars
