I read this book at a friend’s request, expecting to hate it. The blurb on the back cover immediately signals that it’s going to be fatphobic. To my surprise, I ended up enjoying it. It’s definitely fatphobic, and the author clearly has no idea what a 250 pound person looks like (he describes her as unable to fit in desks or through car doors, which is ridiculous). However, it’s a really heartfelt view of mental health, and finding hope when life keeps pushing you down in horrible way. I grew to love the main character a lot more than I thought I would, especially given how much she bothered me at the beginning.
