I hate this book. The themes are so inappropriate for a middle school book. I hated hearing fat shaming, beauty culture, diet culture, and misogyny themes for middle school kids. I'm not sure if it was the authors preference for the narrator to give a lisp to the only Asian character or it was the narrator/producers decision but it was the wrong choice. Also why the fuck are teenagers naked in this book. Worst thing I have read all real. I finished it hoping the moral of the story would correct all of those things but it doesn't. For middle school books, I hope it fixes it at the end of the series but I will not be finishing the series. I also don't think those warnings shouldn't be on a middle school book if it's a series. I understood the good might not be good moral theme but to hear girls learning horrible things about self worth I hated it.
