I feel like this had so much potential, but even though it was short, the pacing was off and not a lot happened until about 3/4 of the way through the book. There was a lot of focus on building the world, building these characters, but then I wasn't really sure what the point was? A lot of the exposition could have been cut down, and more of the plot points at the end expanded on more.
Graphic: Child abuse, Eating disorder, and Trafficking
Moderate: Bullying, Death, and Emotional abuse
Minor: Grief and Pregnancy
Women are forced into pregnancy in this, and there are a lot of instances of counting calories.
