If it wasn't for the very wordy and frequent body shaming/fat phobia I would have rated this booknhigher. I enjoyed the point of this book, but the multiple body descriptions of one character was just too much.
Graphic: Body shaming, Death, Fatphobia, and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Animal cruelty and Miscarriage
Minor: Animal death, Car accident, Death of parent, and Injury/Injury detail
