The plot was so unrealistic that I started thinking about how many stars I’d rate this book before it was even over. I was having a good time, but also could not believe all of this happened to this one group of people. Then I decided to be free from the shackles of fiction needing to be “believable” to be enjoyable and enjoyed the ride. I really loved these characters and their various chaotic choices. I also liked the main character’s thoughtful journey with her body image (though readers who struggle with this may want to tread carefully). Lastly, some early details that I believed to be mundane turned out to be important in the third act. Successful covert foreshadowing! Totally snookered me, which I can’t help but respect.
Graphic: Body shaming
Moderate: Car accident, Death of parent
