typical for an anthology: i really enjoyed some of the pieces, but others not so much. especially toward the later third of the book, i didn't enjoy many of those essays. 
I went into this book looking forward to read about the experiences of being queer and fat, falling somewhat into that category, and to gain insight into these experiences and if anything could resonate with me - both pertaining to weight and to sexuality and gender identity. 

The authors have a very diverse range of experiences and lives, and while most pieces are memoir-like, some of them get fantastical. 
The essays that I enjoyed most were the non-fiction ones, particularly if that mused about fatness and queerness from a societal perspective. I also really enjoyed reading the essays from non-binary authors and what they had to say. eg.  The Gender Nonconformity of my Fatness; A Fat Lot of Good that Did; Soft Butch.
I didn't notice any particular sort of organization of the pieces, which my brain would've appreciated.
The theme of the book is really important, and i recommend it as a way to learn from the perspectives of different people that fall under this umbrella.
