A review by _marcied
Katy by Jacqueline Wilson

3.0

this book is one of jaqueline wilson’s better books in my opinion. i thought it was realistic and the characters were well thought out. however the most annoying thing - which happens in a lot of her books - is that the fat characters only personality trait is food and loving food. not only is this just downright offensive, but it also just got genuinely annoying by the first 100 pages. like does he ever talk about anything other than food?
in addition there were also some incredibly ill informed and ignorant moments, and why did we take 200 pages to get to the point? jaqueline wilson is a very good storyteller but this was just a bit ass.
i would like to rate this 2.5, however goodreads apparently doesn’t do that
