The schizophrenia/psychosis warning is just in case, as a possible interpretation of a certain twist. I'm not entirely sure this is intentionally the case, and either way I don't think it's accurate.

I really smiled a few times while listening to this book. The characters are so dynamic and I love the focus on friendship. I had really no idea what to expect when I checked out this book and I think that’s the way it should be. It’ll surprise you.

Noting that the fatphobia is pretty heavy even though there’s reason for it. After a few times I felt icky. I felt so validated when I came to read the reviews and saw others had similar observations and feelings.

While I loved the story, I wished the author had taken an alternative approach/use of language. Not Eleanor, nor anyone else needs to/can be fixed--benefiting from support and trauma-informed care is not the same as a 'cure'. Shifting the narrative about this would vastly improve mental health stigma and help remove barriers, like ones she experienced that inhibited much-needed understanding and care.

i loved the character development and the discussions of mental health in this story. certainly didn’t expect abuse to play such a big part.
