It felt implicitly racist and fat phobic… the storyline was a good idea if it had it be executed better

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast read, tugged at my emotions, and made me root for both main characters. There are some tough topics covered, so definitely read the content warnings first.  Would read more from this author.
