vunderdrug 's review for:
The Weight of Zero
by Karen Fortunati
i think a 3.5 star is a pretty apt rating for now
tws for: discussions and mentions of eating disorders, discussions of suicide, descriptions of blood, sexual harassment, some body horror (not self-injury dw)
in the beginning i was so thoroughly unimpressed by everything in this book. i didn't like the protag (im assuming we weren't supposed to, to some extent, but cmon) and i found her waaay too selfish. the 'romance' also felt really weird an icky in the beginning and i was truly worried this was gonna be one of those 'love cures everything' books and i'd be furious
thankfully! i kept reading and now i (kinda) really like it. i got super invested in cat's recovery process, and what i liked about it most was her realisation about honesty and how people won't always run from you; and even if they do it won't always be like that
the standing criticism i do have though, is that there was a weird..lack of zero in this book despite the title. not that im encouraging absolutely drowning your book in depression metaphors but it was just very off considering that's the title, and the premise, and that the entire back cover is essentially doused in it so obviously that's what i was expecting
but regardless!! pretty good, not super heavy honestly and just very wholesome in the end
