This collection was mind-opening, perspective-changing, beautifully written, and must read writing! Most of the stories are rather short, but each one packs an enormous punch! I am mulling over so many of these stories, and I can't wait to talk to someone else about some of the things I noticed in the plot, but also in the writing! I borrowed this book from my library, but I will need to get my own copy ASAP to start a reread (the first of what I think will be many). Please also note that there are content warnings at the beginning of many chapters for those who might need them.
Moderate: Ableism, Body shaming, Fatphobia, Mental illness, and Suicidal thoughts
