Woof this was so much worse than the TV show. Book belly is annoying af. Book Conrad is a total dick. Book Jeremiah is so much better all around. This felt way too YA for me and I found myself super annoyed.

Also, I know I'm not the target audience for YA but I think that even as a preteen or teen girl, I wouldn't have liked this book. Belly is so self absorbed- she's a terrible friend, a meh daughter, and has the personality of a whiny starfish. There's gross comments in this book about weight, female friendship, the value of romantic partnership, and a million other things. I would NOT recommend it as a coming of age book to a young woman.
