I'm a writer, reader and plus size. My next book will be about plus-sized women so I'm dong some research now. Does anyone know of any books with plus size heroines that are not romances? So far, I've only found one. Frustrating
Must the character be both female AND the main character? *Model Home* by Rivers Solomon has a protagonist that is definitely not a woman (my interpretation is they’re genderfluid while a child and non-binary/genderfuck in their adult identity) and big. Both of their sisters are also plus-size, one of whom is a plus-size influencer, but they’re both distinctly secondary characters. *Model Home* is a horror/paranormal thriller novel.

It’s actually a murder mystery but there’s a little bit of romance in case you want to avoid it entirely: Murder Takes a Vacation by Laura Lippman
