I always appreciate a FMC in a larger body but the constant internalized fatphobia and low self-esteem was repetitive and annoying. 

Also the repeated lack of communication by everyone... Yawn! 
(
To make things worse there are two breakups due to this. He refuses to communicate, they break up. She gives him a bunch of shit for it, then turns around and does the same thing, leading to second breakup. Lazy writing.

This book needs content warnings for sexual harassment and sexual assault. I wouldn’t have read it if I had known. The incident came out of nowhere in chapter 37, and the author completely failed to mention that the sorority itself should have been sanctioned for sexual harassment and hazing. This is vile.
