Man, I loved it so much from the beginning, like, finally a plus-sized girl!! And I could identify with her so much! But the ending killed me. The last 15%, the second conflict and break up was so unnecessary and I hated Taylor. I thought she was selfish and a real bitch. I didn’t get how she ever could think that Conor‘s friends would make fun of her. They all loved her from the beginning. They went shopping with her ffs!! And they proved it the minute they heard what actually happened, they got up and we’re ready to fuck the guy’s life up who did it to Taylor. It doesn’t get more real than that.

And Conor, ugh, this sweet boy who thought he wasn’t actually good enough for anyone. Made my heart bleed. I wanted to fix him. Let him see that it doesn’t make a difference whether he’s the poor fucked up guy from the west coast. Babe! You got out. I love him.

So yeah, the last break up was unnecessary and I didn’t like Taylor in that moment. - 0.5 points for that mess up.
