The first 50% of this book, I nearly DNF'd twice. The FMC 's issues with her body were a STRUGGLE to read, and not in a "wow, this is an emotional journey" way, but in a "woman, seriously, call a therapist because I cannot handle your self-deprecation and self-esteem issues" way. The MMC also felt more caricature than character. The second half of the book improved some (enough I was willing to finish reading), but yeah - no interest to pick this up again or read anything else in the series.
Graphic: Body shaming, Eating disorder, and Fatphobia
Moderate: Cancer and Death
