I am glad I picked this book up because I do think it is important to see the fat experience through different lenses. I love an unlikeable character but I also really hate when people are harmful to others and although I empathize with the FMC in this one given the trauma of being fat and queer in a world that wants to reject you, I really struggled with how she hid behind her identities and didn't take accountability for her actions. I feel like I need a sticker with this made but you are entitled to your feelings but you are not entitled to harm others because of your feelings. You have to hope those around you will be understanding but you still have to own your mess ups. That is where I wanted more out of the FMC. I do not feel like we got to see her change and own the harm she did, especially to her sister.

Please be mindful when reading this one, there are multiple content notes for- cancer, death, anti-fatness, anti-queerness, anti-tranness, past suicidal attempt, parents with alcoholism.
