The book was good in terms of plot and educational on the side of hanndling children. I found it odd that

children would know their parents are having *kinky* group sex with one another

. It is also hard to focus on the flaw of the main character when she holds herself in a high pedestal for being fat then complains when others dislike her cause she would feel bad. There were lot of focus on Bunny, rather than the actual story which was aa bit anticlimactic. It was a fast read due to the pages and quite interesting in some points. Still, the book felt too rushed at the end.
