Also, just a weird thing I noticed and totally unrelated to the plot or themes- I counted at least 10 occasions when a character’s primary physical description was just whether they were skinny or not. No hair color, no clothing description…idk, it felt very insidious to me, like no wonder little kids grow up so self conscious when YA messaging is subtly insisting that weight is their most important attribute. Part of this is maybe bc the characters are going through adolescence and are hyper aware of changing bodies, but it just felt unnecessary that even in apocalyptic times the 23 year old narrator was still so focused on how much those children (let’s be real, mostly the girls) had weighed ten years earlier.
