SOOO GOOD

I loved how the story didn’t feel it needed to give a proper romantic ending, it made the story all the more memorable. It took back the authors power of making Eleanor’s story the focal point and going against convention

I just finished this audiobook for the second time and it’s honestly one of my favorites. It’s a very well-performed audiobook! “Thank you for making me shiny” makes me emotional every time I think about it.

The narrator/main character is fatphobic but realizes this about herself and begins to work on it. All other triggers are essential to the plot and not particularly graphic.
