Soft on Soft by Em Ali (which I received as an ARC with a different title, #FatGirlsInLove, that appears to be a working title) is an entirely unique story. It’s a romance between two fat sapphic women: Selena, a Black demisexual model, and June, the Arab-Persian, anxious make-up artist. Thanks to the profession of the two protagonists, Soft on Soft is full of diverse bodies being celebrated, colourful descriptions, flowers, and altogether vivid mental images.

Zephyr (Faith Herbert) is a psiot with the power of flight. She is a member of Peter Stanchek’s Renegades and often acts as the moral compass of the team.
She’s so cute and positive and she’s such a sweetheart
Oh my god????
My chest just got so tight and I think I’m going to cry she looks like me
If you’re interested in the comics, Faith is from Harbinger (published by Valiant Comics). Her one-shot can be purchased here.
I need this. Right now. It’s funny how you don’t know some aspect of yourself isn’t represented in a certain media until it IS and you’re just sitting there, looking at it, drinking it in like you’ve been thirsty for 41 years.
Wow.
Faith has her own title! It’s super cute! Also you should buy it if you can, because supporting positive plus size rep shows publishers that there’s a market for diversity.
