2.0

I don’t have many specific criticisms of the story other than that it didn’t really capture me. 
However, I have to say that I really didn’t enjoy the fat phobia or homophobia. It seems absolutely true to Ani’s character to hold those beliefs, but it was a slog to read about Ani’s constant obsession over her and others’ weights and her deep uncomfortableness with gay people, and I didn’t think it added anything valuable to the story.

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.
