Aside from everything that hasn't aged well, like the raging fatphobia, the characters are just so unlikeable and immature.
Because we're only shown snapshots over the course of 20 years, more often than not we see Em and Dex at their worst which makes it difficult to root for them.
The ending is deeply unsatisfying.
