lighthearted
medium-paced

2.5
The good:
- witty banter.
- cleverness.
- literary references.
The bad:
- using character's appearances as a shorthand for their character and morals (aren't we done with this by now??).
- fat characters are always disgusting, constantly eating, and have no redeeming qualities.
- "unattractive" men are described as feminine and weak.
- not a single character in this book appears to be queer, or anything but white, which just strikes me as so unlikely if I'm to believe the worldbuilding.
