Not much happens here. I enjoyed the setting more than the characters. Seemingly random POV switches throughout chapters and a chronic illness is faked. There is not much character growth or resolution.

I actually got into this a lot more than I thought I would. I decided to finally listen to this book, which I'd redeemed for free ages ago as part of Libro.fm's ALC Program, while in Cobble Hill.
Despite that, I didn't care for the characters at all and nothing really happens. Sometimes nothing really happens in a book but you still feel you took something deeper away from the experience of reading it. With this one, I didn't take anything away from it at all beyond the surface level entertainment I got from peeking into the characters' lives.
Also, lots of fatphobic comments in this one!
