While pets of the book are cute and funny, there’s also a LOT of body image stuff that makes this one a hard read.

This is the fluffy, happily-ever-after, YA romance that I crave every now and then.  I loved this book and it made me smile reading it.  I liked that this book dealt with fatphobia and beauty standards in Korean and American culture.  It also dealt with strained parent/child relationship, LGBTQ+ issues, and bullying.  I loved that Skye had support from friends and others, but she was ultimately her own source of encouragement.  She believed in herself and gave herself confidence, even if it meant battling the voices in her head.  There is a good amount of queer characters and I am happy that there is bi representation!  Lots of pop culture references and, of course, K-pop songs and references!  I will be thinking about Henry for a very long time because he is simply perfect.

Delightfully unsubtly fat-positive, it's like the whole point of the book. It's a really fun, cute adventure, but we still get to see Skye's very realistic struggles with body image and harassment. I also really appreciate that Skye is explicitly bisexual even though the love interest is a guy so it doesn't "matter" to the plot - like yeah, make her queer! Why not?

Also, oh my god,

the super hot love interest guy is ALSO BISEXUAL? I love it, I need more bisexual male characters.
