Teen lit through and through, enjoyable enough! Happy to see the perspective of an Australian muslim girl going through day to day life, touching on her family, friends, and the relationships she and others have with their faith.
Major gripe was how the internal comments about how being fat is the worst and awful were really relentless. You're absolutely going to hear about how huge they are and the impacts of their food choices! Ended up skipping past it and while I appreciate this is how teenagers were (growing up as one in 2000's it was all very familiar) it felt a bit TOO much, especially when none of the girls are fat in the first place!!

Dynamics characters but my god, the 2005-era girl-hate, fatphobia and ableist language made me rage.
