YA
"Statuesque" British teen Angelica Cookson Potts returns for a second volume, her love of food (and comical line-drawn caricatures and handy recipes) intact. The story revolves around Angelica's dad's arrest for protesting inauthentic Scottish haggis at Harrods and has a shallower, melodramatic tone, lacking the well-honed messages about weight found in My Cup Runneth Over, but it still qualifies as guilty pleasure.

YA
Vivacious, plus-sized Angel Cookson Potts relishes the company of her petite, gorgeous gal pals, endures her eccentric family, and dreams of being a "foodie." Her intensely readable, Brit-inflected first-person voice (interrupted by caricatures and chatty recipes) bears readers along with Angel as she deals (healthily) with her size and becomes the hit of the fashion show at the end of the book.
