this book was slow moving and took me a while to get through, but it was worth it. Dolores is deeply unlikeable but she is very real. There were a few parts that were hard to read because they were painful and harsh, but i liked that the book didn’t shy away from it. I wish she would have been able to find herself and build her dream life while fat so it didn’t seem like once she lost the weight her life turned around, and i found the therapy she went through very creepy, but mostly I thought it was well done.
