minervadashwood 's review for:
Gabi, a Girl in Pieces
by Isabel Quintero
I wanted to like this book because it's rare that I can find a book about a fat woman and it doesn't revolve around dieting.
However, the main character doesn't feel genuine. She didn't have much depth, nor did the book. It was almost like the author had a checklist of "issues teenage girls face" and may sure to mention each one but never really interrogate them. Additionally, the writing very much sounded like an adult pretending to be a teen. Which I guess is literally what this book is, but I found it distracting.
