Moderate: Fatphobia, Sexual harassment, Body shaming, and Sexual assault

There is a point in this book where Bea talks about her first kiss and it is uncomfortable because she gets assaulted and I don't think the book acknowledges that.

Bea talks about how the guy was drunk and they both went to the forest together and he suddenly started kissing her and putting his hands under her dress without any consent. Bea was hoping that he would kiss her but the way it happens is not OK and it gives the sense that isn't really Sexual assault because Bea did like him and wanted the chance to kiss him.

What happened wasn't OK I don't care that this is a person the character likes if there is any kissing, touching, etc. without any consent given then it is sexual assault.

This was fun to listen to, I really appreciate the narrator’s charm and talent. The book would have benefits from a little more character development, especially from the supporting roles, but I really likes this book. It would make a great movie! I recommend this book.

I could not finish this book. It was making me hate my own body hearing the way she thought about her own body and the way the men on the show treated her. None of those men should have been anywhere around her. This is NOT a romance novel. It's like an Anti-Romance novel.
