As a mentally ill fat girl, you know I had to pick this book up. It was incredibly dark but a definite page-turner for me. It felt fairly dated in how it handled topics such as gayness, fatness, and race. I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending; I was hoping for a little more catharsis after everything the book put me through.
