Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jim Benton
2.0
BOOK #21 READ FOR BELIEVATHON ROUND 2.
I reread this book for my rereading childhood favourites video!
representation: yeeeahhhhh, none from what I read.

★★
DNF on page 26 of my reread. As much as this book series influenced me so much as a kid in terms of keeping my own diaries and reading more books, it just doesn't hold up today. It has some of the worst fat-shaming I've seen in a middle grade and I'm v sad about it. Defs won't be passing this one on to my children, that's for sure lol.
trigger warnings: TERRIBLE fat shaming, slut shaming, potentially racist content?
