DNF because WTAF?!!
I was in chapter 3 when the rampant fatphobia began.
Kate is the main character and her best friend says to her, "Honestly, you’re kind of disgusting. I don’t know how you’re not two hundred pounds by now.”
In response Kate replies, "I do look like a pig when you list it all out like that."
And later in the book, "I just stuffed my face with a breadstick like some sort of pubescent child on the run from Fat Camp"
Wow. I was absolutely NOT expecting this fat-phobia in my current read. Especially since this author is not a size 2. Like, what was she thinking?! This is just really offensive.
Dear authors, some of us weigh more than 200lbs and that doesn't make us "disgusting".
