Note: There were times where the author’s descriptions of some characters and/or the characters’ descriptions of one another were quite fatphobic and/or ableist. I do believe those characters would have said or thought those things, especially 16+ years ago when this book is set, but it still detracted enough from this otherwise excellent book to be worth mentioning.
Graphic: Suicidal thoughts, Eating disorder, and Body shaming
Moderate: Ableism, Fatphobia, and Chronic illness
