I was so excited to read this one but maybe my expectations were too high and I was left a bit disappointed.
First of all, the plot felt very unrealistic and rushed.
I didn’t really like or felt invested in the characters (besides Sophie).
The diary entries did nothing for me. I felt like they didn’t add anything to advance the plot or to connect with the main character.
I felt that there were some inconsistencies with the main character.
Plus, the subjects of eating disorders and toxic relationship/manipulation, for the most part, were glossed over.
However, I did love Sophie (I would much rather read a book about her) and the discussions of toxic friendships.

All of the parts revolving around crash dieting really got to me. Definitely watch out for that if eating disorders are something that triggers you. There were other aspects of this book that also weren't super fun to read. A lot of the people in Marty's life were really terrible people.
Luckily, he also had some family and new friends that were there for him and helped him out! I love the found family trope and it was heartwarming to find this one. I also enjoyed the musical aspects!
