The main character has internalized fatphobia that is addressed as something to overcome in a route to self-love.papierfeder's review against another edition

I love this. Especially loved the part where I got to put in this review that the cast of characters are diverse. Never thought I’d fall in love with a green blob and said character would make me cry and laugh, nor find the Antichrist charming. I listened to the english audio book and the voices are *chefs kiss*. Pretty sure that is one of the reasons why this is now on my favorite books list.
Read this if you love funny characters, love, magic and finding yourself. This is kind of the reverse buildungs-roman, an adult goes to an orphanage and grows up.

- C: the characters were super adorable and diverse, i liked how they were described, i didn' really felt connected though & i personally don't really vibe with linus
- W: some feelings and situations felt over-explained, sometimes it left way too hopeful und overly positive, especially towards the end i sometimes cringed at some of the dialogues and writing
- P: the second half the story kinda dragged on, the over all outcome was very foreseeable
- I: at first, i couldn't put it down and towards the end the only motivation to read was to get this book done.
- E: in the beginning i really enjoyed it, was alright over all, glad that i read it, wouldn't read again
