really good information packed into such a small book. was expecting conversations on fatphobia only, but ended up being much more involved which was nice! not quite a 4 star mostly because i think i read through it too quickly to fully appreciate some aspects but definitely think this is good material to review

i really enjoyed this! it was a quick story that really managed to make you love all the characters in such a short amount of time. i also loved that marra wasn’t the typicaly perfect female protagonist. she was kind of slow! i loved that about her.

this was fine. boring, didn’t like any of the characters either. i get its status as a classic, but ultimately i’m glad i didn’t have to read this for school lol
