The few chapters that stood out were the one with the wedding (but i can’t even remember it now LOL), the one with her therapist, and the chapter that followed it. She became a good friend to Farly as she matured, and realized she didn’t need a man. That’s the only good things that happened LOL
I was ready to DNF this book but gave it another chance. I thought it was getting better towards the end, but then ended up getting boring again. LOL. Also, what’s with all the page fillers? We don’t need recipes and lists and fake emails.

This isn’t a five star book because: 1) I felt it didn’t hit its stride till around ~80 pages in and 2) there’s a teensy bit of casual fatphobia in here that I didn’t particularly like (such as her friend Farly loving reality TV programs like My 600 Lb. Life, except it was the UK equivalent which I can’t remember the name of). Also, I found myself deeply relating to the “Being a Bit Thin, Being a Bit Fat” chapter quite a bit, but I wonder if there was some fatphobic stuff in there that I couldn’t clock because I’m not a fat person. I’d be curious to hear how fat readers feel about this book.
I think this book has a really specific target demographic. All the negative reviews I’ve seen have been from folks outside that demographic. I am squarely within the target demographic for this book, so I loved it. Cannot recommend this enough if you’re a 20-something or 30-something woman!!
