For a book about a body-positive character, the mc sure does spend a lot of time judging other people’s looks

This was a re read, still didn’t love it quite as much as I did the first time. But it’s a solid 3.5-4 stars. The one part that still drives me insane though is the fact that they USE A CONDOM IN THE HOT TUB???? Like. Hot tub sex in general was a choice for her to choose at her big age but then to use a condom? And no comic relief of it falling off, etc. Whatever everything else was decent.

I am a Weiner fan. This one was not what I expected not having read much about it. I didn't realize there would be a "mystery". Gave it an extra level. I also liked the social media aspect - good & bad.
