Kcal counting. She criticizes hers and other people's body. Also I'm not comfortable reading an alcoholic, smoker and binge eating person.

Enjoyable read, star deducted for the unfortunately period/location-typical racism. Much less second-hand embarrassment than the movie which was nice as I hate that.

Made it 60% before it had to be returned to library. Enjoyable most of the time but didn't love it as much as I loved the film.  The beats of the movie influenced how I approached the book.
