tracey1981's review against another edition
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.75
Note: There were times where the author’s descriptions of some characters and/or the characters’ descriptions of one another were quite fatphobic and/or ableist. I do believe those characters would have said or thought those things, especially 16+ years ago when this book is set, but it still detracted enough from this otherwise excellent book to be worth mentioning.
Graphic: Body shaming, Eating disorder, and Suicidal thoughts
Moderate: Ableism, Chronic illness, and Fatphobia
