Another issue I took with this book is that Black very clearly does not know how to write a “curvy” (as she describes Charlie) lead female character. Charlie was described/described herself as having “too much in [insert body part here]” and that it was crazy that a hot guy like her boyfriend would be interested in her. As a woman who falls into the category of Charlie’s size (which is eventually explicitly stated) I can attest to the fact that there are better ways to write characters like her.
I also felt like certain points were exhausted by the author repeating them over and over again. The ending was disappointing and it felt as if there were many things explained away.

Strange amount of child neglect that does not really get dealt with.bezarue's review against another edition
