Oh my God the fatphobia about Ravenscourt was BEYOND EGREGIOUS. I almost DNF’d over it. I wish the author would put out a revised edition without all that garbage. He explained the experience of suddenly being in an elderly body well and without denigrating elderly people. He could’ve easily done the same with a fat body. Yes we get it you’re disgusted by fat people, Jesus Christ let’s keep it moving. I legit took off 1.5 stars just for that. Great book otherwise.
