tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.0
I wanted to like this book, but it fell so flat. TW for disordered eating plot points and homophobia.
The character development for many of the big supporting characters is very meh. Even Marty’s character development is very one-note.
This will likely go into my pile of forgettable reads. Not sad I read it but wouldn’t recommend it or re-read in the future.

Overall pretty good and easy read. I really liked the story but I didn’t stick with me like some other books did. Really good story for LGBTQ+ representation and experiences
