My new obsession is The Tourist on Netflix and I'm sad to see the Fandom on here for it isn't very big (yet🤞). I've been on a hunt the last two or more years for books with plus sized main characters, but have had a hard time finding any that are realistic or don't involve magical shape-shifters or mob bosses. They're good enough to scratch the itch, but just don't feel real or relatable enough. (Please, if anyone has recommendations, feel free to share.)

The Tourist though, is pretty great. I love Danielle Macdonald in Dumplin', but what I like even more about this one is that while her struggle with her own weight and self-image is a part of her character and her story, it's a pretty small part overall. Most movies or books I've seen with plus-sized main characters make the entire storyline surrounding their weight and self-esteem issues. This has action, mystery, comedy, romance, all of it. It's a storyline with two people who go through a bunch of shit together and it draws them closer together, and it could be any two people in the world, but it just so happens to be a very conventionally attractive man and an unconventionally (by Hollywood standards) attractive, plus-sized woman who looks unlike anyone else ever put into a role like this one.

Reminds me a bit of Melissa McCarthy in Spy or Rebel Wilson in Isn't it Romantic, where the plus-sized woman has hunky, hot men as love interests with little-to-no question or fanfare. Just men and women who like each other, which I think is nice, just like in any other story. It's not just looks either, Helen(fmc) is also a very quirky, awkward, compassionate character too. But for once, it's not just a comedy and it's a running show, not just a one-time movie.

Idk, there's a lot I like about it and it gives me some hope for the future. Maybe post-strikes we'll see more diverse representation, specifically in romance.

Maybe if you've made it this far you'll consider giving it a chance🤞😆🤞 I need people to talk to about it.

meet olive lewis

name: olive maude lewis

age: 25

birthplace: norwich, norfolk

hometown: diss, suffolk

starsign: sagittarius

favorite things: ella fitzgerald, shakespeare, root beer floats

Olive, a trained actress, has moved back to her hometown of Diss to assist in the care of her aging grandmother Pearl after she took a fall a few months ago. Joan, who takes care of Pearl part-time does not want Olive to lose all the skills she's worked for and recommends a reenactment job at Thorpe Abbotts museum. It is there that Olive's path in life begins to shift, taking curiosity in the model B-17 that sits on the airfield and clambering in, finding herself plucked from 2021 to World War 2.

Falling into 1943 at pilot Benny Demarco's feet, she finds what she has been craving since the death of her father and the following abandonment from her mother: love, family and friendship. She's instantly smitten with bombadier James Douglass, finding a brother in Benny Demarco after a comically contentious love triangle, unconditional love from husky Meatball and sisterhood from fellow Red Cross girls Val - head over heels with pilot Everett Blakely who becomes another brother to Olive - and Helen, who take Olive under their wing after Tattie Spaatz takes a shine to her on that first day. She also finds a friend and penpal in Juliet, the girlfriend of pilot John Brady, bonding over Shakespeare and the worries of their men being at war.

A fantalist through and through, Olive finds her "tough girl" exterior being broken down by these people she now sees as family. Eventually, she has a decision to make: duty to family in the present or love in the past?
