This book has wonderful fat and LGBTQ+ representation. It is very present but it isn’t the main focus of the book in the way a lot of media with LGBTQ+ characters have it (it isn’t a story about coming out). It can take a bit to get into as the action comes more towards the end of the book. I feel like some of the action is rushed and would have been better if it had been started sooner, but I still enjoyed the book. It is a pretty easy read and a great choice if you are looking for a superhero origin story with fat and LGBTQ+ rep.
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Dementia, Car accident, and Death of parent
Minor: Body shaming and Fatphobia
