The narrator/main character is fatphobic but realizes this about herself and begins to work on it. All other triggers are essential to the plot and not particularly graphic.d_nice_'s review against another edition

These days, loneliness is the new cancer—a shameful, embarrassing thing, brought upon yourself in some obscure way. A fearful, incurable thing, so horrifying that you dare not mention it; other people don’t want to hear the word spoken aloud for fear that they might too be afflicted, or that it might tempt fate into visiting a similar horror upon them.
This book has been a long-time coming. I was a little scared going into this because of all the high praise surrounding this book, but I shouldn't have been. I thought it was very well written, with an engaging plot and a lot of important messages to get across to the reader. I certainly had a couple of issues with how some things (the therapy, the SA, and the alcoholism to give just some examples) were handled and I found Eleanor's fatphobia (although in no way endorsed in the book) was somewhat difficult to read.
However, Eleanor was a very unique character and her charm really grew on me throughout the book. Despite the dark themes, Gail Honeyman's humour came across very well in my opinion and I loved the way she made me feel Eleanor's loneliness. If the trigger warnings do not look to overwhelming, I can definitely recommend this book to many of my close friends, it is one that is certainly worth the read!

It’s a very emotional cute book
Not a romance !! If you’re looking for romantic love this is not what you’re looking for it’s much more self discovery and friendships !
Not the type of book I usually read, some times a little too slow for me but either way very enjoyable :) totally fell in love with Elenor

I was glad to see where her social relationships ended up. I was afraid they would go one way and felt that would've cheapened it.
I did struggle a little with the absurdity of a culture that allows a person to take extended medical leave without losing their job or going broke. The US is not ok.
