I have to admit this book surprised me more than once. I thought it was going in a certain direction that I was sure was going to be banal. Then it pivoted and pivoted again and pivoted again. The only thing banal was the ending, but I didn’t mind that because it felt like it needed to be. After all the trauma and turmoil in her life, Ani deserved banal.

What horrible characters in this book! I suppose they weren’t meant to be likable, but I would have liked at least one likable person.

I was hoping for some sort of redemptive arc for TiffAni), as far as her development from a kid to an adult, but that was not the case. I got through a third of the book and almost quit. Glad I finished it, but the ending was underwhelming.

ebettridge's review against another edition

Didn’t love the constant references to body size and shape, also the flashbacks to high school were a little triggering for me. Present day the main character is mean… The actual storyline could be good but I’m a quarter of the way in and there is barely a reference to “what happened.”
