I also did not like some of the characterizations, especially of characters based on those from P&P. It felt so overdramatized in moments it was hard to stay in the story; characters shrieked and yelled and said they should die, and I just didn't understand why.
The body image issues throughout the book were added in for a reason clearly, but they made me genuinely uncomfortable, and there wasn't any challenging of them in the actual book but briefly a happy ending for Qitty in the epilogue. The characters were exceptionally nasty to her in a way that was horrific, and it was treated as just teasing.
On the whole, the book needed more nuance and better storytelling.
