I really don't see how anyone could hate Dolores. Yes she lashes out and is mean... but shes in so much pain.

I reread this book every couple of years. The main character is so perfectly flawed and I love her. This is one of the few books written by a man from a female perspective that is actually believable. I really enjoy the writing!

I read this book at a friend’s request, expecting to hate it. The blurb on the back cover immediately signals that it’s going to be fatphobic. To my surprise, I ended up enjoying it. It’s definitely fatphobic, and the author clearly has no idea what a 250 pound person looks like (he describes her as unable to fit in desks or through car doors, which is ridiculous). However, it’s a really heartfelt view of mental health, and finding hope when life keeps pushing you down in horrible way. I grew to love the main character a lot more than I thought I would, especially given how much she bothered me at the beginning.

I was told this book would make me WEEP but maybe I'm just stone cold and too tough to cry
