Okay that was really stinking cute. I picked it up for a reading challenge and honestly I am glad I did. It deals with hard topics but does it in a way that feels natural.

Lighthearted and easy to ready. Loved all the depictions into what it’s like to grow up within the korean culture. I think the book is a refreshing perspective to dealing with fatphobia.
Also the bi representation was just a cherry on top of everything!
. I’m hoping more of the books from the author have very similar topics in them!

While pets of the book are cute and funny, there’s also a LOT of body image stuff that makes this one a hard read.

I think I’ve found another favorite book of the year! This is one of the ones that I desperately wish had been around when I was in high school. I’m sitting here crying because this book made me so ridiculously happy that it exists now (and it takes so much for me to cry over a book). It’s lovely to see a fat character like Skye, genuinely loving the body they’re in and for the story to not focus on her losing weight to feel loved or accepted. It made me so, so happy to see her living her best life and standing up not just for herself, but for everyone who’s ever been told they can’t do something because of their size. There were so many lines and quotes that I highlighted in this book because they were things that hit home. I felt so seen and understood by this book. I just want to scream at the top of my lungs that everyone should read I’ll Be The One. It was a fantastic book and I’m giving it a solid five stars. And now I need to go dry my eyes 😭.
