I really loved this book. My husband and 8-year-old listened to the end with me and were rapt. It’s lyrical and lovely and has true emotions and describes little moments so particularly and perfectly, and it’s uplifting without being pat or superficial. The worst thing about it, for me, was the fatphobia and body-shaming. I guess Lawson didn’t think fat people would read this and see themselves in her descriptions. It really takes me out of a book when an author treats fat people the way Lawson did.
