I didn't know what to expect when I started listening to this book, oh boy. It delighted me. Having a MAIN CHARACTER WHOSE FAT AND HAPPY ABOUT IT AND TALKING ABOUT IT LIKE FUCK WE NEED THIS MORE IN LITERATURE!!
The power that is in her too and the diversity of the other characters!! There was black rep, deaf rep and more but I am honestly drawing a blank 💀 I blame it cause it's been a long day ( I saw Rebecca Kaung!!!) Anyways read this book. It's so fucking good. Pick it up for the fat rep and the cover and stay for the amazing story!!
