full review available at: https://www.kaitgoodwin.com/books/blog-tour-kind-of-sort-of-fine-by-spencer-hall-review-aesthetic-board/, but TL;DR:
• really cool concept, execution fell a little flat
• fat people? don't have to lose weight?? to feel good about themselves????
• Hayley's description of her breakdown felt so much like my own that I probably shouldn't have read this, so even though it's only briefly mentioned, I'm putting a strong TW for depression and anxiety
• I feel like this would have been a great book ten years ago, but for 2021 it's very- eh.
