Movie is definitely better. I appreciated the friendship between the main characters and Leslie was really amazing. But I couldn't get past the constant fatphobia, saying it's not big deal being abused, mc referring to another character as "it" and other aweful things. The description of grief seemed well enough but it should have been spread out over more time. You telling me this kid did the whole grief processing cycle in 2 days?? Whut.
