I didn’t absolutely hate this book but I didn’t really like it. I love Lucinda Berry books but this one was just…strange. There was a lot going on and it just felt like things escalated too quickly for some things. I would recommend one of her other books before I recommend this one.

Uhhhhhh what the fuck lol. Twisty, a bit predictable, but overall a decent and entertaining read. Unfortunately some unnecessary fatphobia.
