I understand she was meant to be annoying, but I couldn't breathe being in her mind sometimes. The people who did not finish made the best choice for them. The book is drenched in fatphobia and classism. I can't imagine living the way TifAni does by judging every single person I meet by the shallowest of criteria and basing my judgment of their behavior on that. The book is a never-ending tirade of judgment on the world and the people TifAni interacts with. She doesn't seem to have genuine relationships in her life, and she takes it out on everyone else. She's a miserable person, but she appears to be beautiful, thin, and successful, so what else must she be?
The lesson I took from the book was "Hurt people hurt people." TifAni's experiences are deeply traumatic, not to mention she was brought up by a mother who was jealous of her and a father who couldn't care less. She was doomed from the start, but I still think she had the potential to be a good person. Does she still have that capacity for kindness even though she's never shown much of it before?
The author did a good job showing something that was brought to my attention recently while listening to a podcast on Clarence Thomas' life. If horrible events inspire people to become kinder and gentler, they can also make people mean and cruel. More trauma can make them meaner and crueler still.
