i think it was just too dramatic for my tastes, mostly anyway. marcus’ biggest secrets are being a fic writer and being dyslexic. both main characters had skewed perceptions of themselves bc of their parents being shitty which made sense, considering their ages but jfc. it really made a big deal about nothing.
the fat rep was fine. i think this was more of in the realm of “im fat and thats my whole identity. fuck you.” which cool but most fat people don’t actually think about it like that. then again, most of the fat people i know and am constantly around are also bipoc so we have more issues to focus on other than our size. this story in particular i felt tried to be revolutionary about being fat but instead ended up being “woke” which isn’t a good thing. i’ve also noticed that the author has a running theme of a fat woman main character and a muscular/athletic man love interest. i would like to see 2 fat people as the main couple instead please.
all in all, this just wasn’t for me. honestly, it made me feel a lot like how white queers make my gay fat ass feel. not great and with a bad taste in my mouth.
i’ll give this 3 stars and that’s me being generous.

the emotional abuse is about the characters’ relationship with their parents. one is much more major than the other.things100's review against another edition
