This book was a bit triggering for me because of the body image issues that Taylor dealt with. I have definitely gone through some of the same thought patterns that Taylor had throughout the story, especially her feelings of defeat and helplessness during her situation at the end of the book. I think the topic was broached well and I liked the fact that Conor was always reassuring her. I enjoyed the friendship that Conor and Taylor shared and I felt like they were both equally developed characters. This was a challenging yet hopeful read for me and I really liked it.
