Loved the idea of this book and was super invested for the first 30% or so, but the amount of fatphobia that appeared was ridiculous and so hard to read through. Apart from it being cruel and gross, it’s not interesting or relevant to read these comments every other sentence. 

The end really let me down, it didn’t feel satisfying and felt like it relied on a lot of cliches that you’d never have been able to predict. I was invested enough in the story to keep going but I wish I hadn’t.
