So like most story collections, some were good and some were not so good. It's definitely a YA focus with a good mix of genres, writing styles, and experiences. It's not often that we see fat main characters so that aspect was unbelievably refreshing, however, certain aspects of the stories can be incredibly triggering (especially in reference to fatphobia and disordered eating). My favorite stories were Prom Queers, Weightless, Breathe You In, and Letting Go.
