It was beautiful, but I wish they wouldn’t be so fatphobic. Tiny being fat has nothing to do with the story but his insecurities, which could’ve been shown without his closest friends & boyfriend constantly shaming him for it. There’s also a lot of gay stereotypes in the story, which I minded less, since it’s been really clarified that gay is okay, and honestly, I wish they at least did the same with him being fat or actually do what they should’ve done and erased the constant fat shaming and fatphobia and fat jokes, because it’s just not funny. Could honestly have been a 5 star without all the bigotry.
(Also the erasure of anyone other than homosexuals and lesbians when talking about the gay-straight alliance sucks. Jane could’ve easily been bi, pan, ace, etc. instead, when Will finds out she’s not a lesbian, it’s immediately a “she’s straight so I can date her” kind of thing, which drives me nuts.)

Honestly, it could have been a 3 stars, but the start was so painful, and the fat and gay comments were just so much that it can't be for me.
I cried, and related to some parts, but the whole start was making me want to dnf, and there are just so many comments that you asked yourself, do ya'll here hate each other, the need to remind the reader that a character is fat, 3 times in a page, dude I'm not gonna forget, is tiring, and it gets uncomfortable.

Too many references to the MC's best friend being fat. This book came out when I was a teenager, struggling with my own insecurities and overarching themes of fatphobia in media at the time did not help. I wouldn't recommend this book.
