I'm glad Paris finally got the help to work on himself that he desperately needed, though I wish it could have happened a lot earlier in the book. If I had known how long it would take, I may have DNF'd the book earlier because it was a bit awful to sit there and suffer through it too.
I also thought that some of the parts set at the baking show seemed a little abbreviated. At some points, there wasn't even anything important happening, but the plot timeline still had to get moved on.
Loved Morag! So cool to have such a positive depiction of a fat (side-)character!

Graphic: Mental illness and Panic attacks/disorders
Moderate: Abandonment
Minor: Homophobia, Racism, Xenophobia, and Islamophobia
Huge warning for anxiety. The first 80 % of the book is constant depictions of Paris's anxiety and thought processes.
