If I hadn’t almost just experienced the worst break up of my life and is currently going through the most confusing situation ever, that have both left me with ZERO confidence in my body, I wouldn’t have rated this book so high.
I FEEL TERRIBLE SAYING THIS, because some of the paragraphs featured in this book genuinely healed something in me as a overweight woman, but those paragraphs aren’t enough to safe how… awkward the rest of the book is.
I LOVE THE REPRESENTATION OF PLUS SIZE WOMEN!!!!!!! THATS AWESOME!!!!! And the side plot with the mom who clearly has an ed was absolutely gut wrenching to read about a few times, so kudos to that. That was genuinely good.
This would have rocked as a fanfic (which is kinda ironic and a little bit funny actually), but the fact that this is a published work featuring characters in their almost fourties' speaking like tumblr teenagers is just… it’s not good. It feels a little bit cringy???
ALSO THE WHOLE THING WITH THE ACTOR OBSESSED WITH PEGGING AND THE OTHER CHARACTER OBSESSED WITH TUNA MADE ME WANT TO SCRATCH MY EYE BALLS OUT. That was actually Wattpad worthy. I did. laugh a few times throughout this book for the right reasons, but THOSE certain plot points? They felt cheap. Like they were made by a 14 year old on Wattpad…
This has officially given me the ick for fanfics. I cannot read another fic in my life ever again.
