It's a few years old but have you read Queenie by Candiace Carty Williams? I listened to the audiobook and loved it! An actual three dimensional female lead character with a complex personality dealing with some real shit! The author was on an episode of Adam Buxton's podcast at the time which I thoroughly enjoyed too.

yes! I loved Queenie, I thought it was so funny and smart and thought-provoking. Queenie 2 please, CCW! (If you haven't read Our Stop by Laura Jane Williams, I also loved that and seem to recollect reading precisely NOTHING about the main character's body / physicality.)

Bethany Rutter, Welcome to Your Life. She’s a plus sized lead character if I’m remembering right!

I am also sick of reading about tiny women! (Sorry to any tiny women, it’s not personal!)
