I have complicated feelings about this book. On one hand the fat representation was excellent but on the other I really didn’t enjoy the story. I found myself getting easily distracted and bored while reading which I’m really sad about since I inhale read Rutter’s No Big Deal. The characters weren’t as fleshed out as I’d hoped. I feel as though a certain kind of reader that enjoys dipping their toes into a slice of life kind of story will enjoy this; but I wanted more development and by the end I just felt like I still didn’t really know the main character. Nothing as such happened plot wise it was really just character centred and because I didn’t love the characters that made it hard for me to love this. I wouldn’t discourage anyone from reading it, I think it’s a nice read especially for someone questioning their sexuality or if you’re in the transition period of your life after high school. I just didn’t gel well with it.
