Big Summer is a modern novel that is part murder mystery, part bildungsroman, or a coming-of-age story. It follows Daphne, the narrator, as she learns to truly love her plus-sized body. The reader is immersed in Daphne's experience as she deals with shame, low self-esteem, and the shocking murder of her former friend, the lovely Drue Cavanaugh.
Big Summer criticizes social media's negative effects, the destructive nature of body norms, and the judgment of others in a world where in-person connections are avoided in favor of online relationships.
Weiner uses plot twists to create tension, propel momentum, and question the characters' intentions in three parts.
Please keep in mind that this study guide discusses potentially triggering topics such as body shaming, emotional abuse, and sexist language.
