OKAY SO I read this series again because it had been like 7 years since I last read it and I felt super nostalgic for it. I do love the characters but there were several things that I wish I had known before reading aka things that might be triggering. There is a shit ton of talk about weight and how it needs to be lost and dieting. It was pretty much an entire characters identity. There is also addiction that came pretty abruptly but I do think that it was accurate but very true to addiction which can be triggering. I just think some of these storylines could be very dangerous to young readers who get influenced easily by characters.
Graphic: Addiction, Eating disorder, Body shaming, and Fatphobia
