I struggled with the character’s relationship with her body—the descriptions of weight gain/fatness felt incomplete, like the author herself had never been larger than a size 8 and still has a lot of internalized fat phobia (I have no idea, fwiw). Her obsession with thinness made me tired.
The thread around female friendships, the push-and-pull of romantic vs platonic(ish) love, and the character seeking out moments of catharsis were what kept me engaged and invested. Worth a read, but didn’t quite meet my expectations.
