This book was disappointing. I didn’t connect with the characters or the love story, Josie is written as a really weak woman, the ending is a cop-out and it’s mildly fatphobic at times. Josie really did most things only if she had to or if a man encouraged her to and I did not like that.

Max just drops dead, which I saw coming, but wtf? And at the same time, their relationship was so shallowly written it wasn’t gut wrenching like it should’ve been.Minor: Fatphobia
