This is the second novel of Elizabeth Noble that I have now read. 
I love her work, and I love her characters and story lines (I loved many characters of this book, especially Tess & Gigi), but the continuous theme of body shaming throughout her females characters is getting old. 
Let your women evolve, Elizabeth. Let them be centred within themselves and their bodies, without the harshness that you place within them regarding their appearance. You’re already half way there, as there is truly such a beautiful self-centred-ness within both Tess & Gigi, both deciding to lead their lives by their own decisions, which is fantastic! But the body shaming has to stop.
