I wanted to like this book, but it fell so flat. TW for disordered eating plot points and homophobia. 

The character development for many of the big supporting characters is very meh. Even Marty’s character development is very one-note. 

This will likely go into my pile of forgettable reads. Not sad I read it but wouldn’t recommend it or re-read in the future.

This story is quite heavy, and deals with issues surrounding toxic friendships and relationships, eating disorders and outing. I feel that there were a lot of complex themes the author tried to check off, without really focusing upon any one of them in great detail. I enjoyed it anyway and preferred that it is focus on the mental health aspect.
