thebyelingualteacher's review against another edition
Don't really remember where I stopped reading. I hadn't checked the trigger warnings beforehand since I had read The Right Move before this one and assumed it would be fine. While reading the first couple chapters the main character had mentioned her figure at least 5 times, which made me check the trigger warnings. The book contains themes of body shaming etc. As someone still recovering from an ed this is not a book for me at this point in my life. Might be able to come back to it at some point. Hopefully

I have some very mixed feelings about this book. I loved the plot itself as well as the characters but the third act breakup really pissed me off. The writing quality fluctuated and I think there were times when the author was really trying to make sure you understood the themes so she would write them out clearly and it just bothered me. It made things feel very cheesy. The first half of the book just felt very different than the second and I think it was that build into the third act breakup that made it seem sort of all over the place. However, that being said it was enjoyable and I definitely want to read the second book.
