I know this book came out in 2015, and that things have changed a bit since then, but the fatphobia and short shaming... Just unnecessary. And even in a different time, they were still shitty things to say.

A quick and light read. A good message about how life can turn out fine no matter what choices you make and where you end up. Unfortunately a lot of cringey cliches and quite a bit of random fat phobia/self-body shaming.
