2.0

It's well written and entertaining on a popcorn level, but but it offends with the fat-shaming. As a parent, I wouldn't want my teen to read this. It takes a perfectly capable young woman and shows that it doesn't matter who she is until she loses weight. She could have shown Elise gaining self-control and confidence that LED to stamina and healthy choices. Sadly, the author chose the Disney route. This book made me feel things for the characters, but I don't think it was the things that the author intended.
