What a powerful and heartfelt book. I definitely cried some throughout the book. I think anyone who is overweight can identify with Ellie and what she goes through in the book. I love her journey and growth to accept who she is and learn that she deserves to take up space in this world too. She definitely has her haters and supporters. I loved the cast of characters in the book. I like that the relationship repairs feel real and it doesn't end up like a cheesy TV movie. Fipps keeps her focus on Ellie and her relationship with herself and others and I loved that about the book. Poetry just really is able to convey so much emotion without spelling it out and I love that! I highlighted so many phrases and wrote 25 questions to discuss with my 7th grade book club! I hope they enjoy it as much as I did.
