I really wouldn't recommend this book. I didn't find the story or characters compelling and had to force myself to read it all the way through. It felt as if the author was just using the book as an excuse to be incredibly fatphobic. Such a disappointing read :(

There are other books that write unlikeable characters struggling with mental health issues that subvert their reality so much better and not offensively. In my opinion, this is not one of them.
