I actually really liked most of this book. The characters had good dialogue and I liked their relationship, but can’t rate it higher due to the really fatphobic language used to discuss the evil uncle character.
It seemed like pages and pages dedicated to describing, in great detail, how disgusting this man was via his appearance. It would have been easy enough to make it clear that this character was horrible via his vile actions and leave the whole “fat as moral failing” thing alone. It just seems lazy.
