This book was good but slow for me sometimes. One thing I really liked was how the main character also suffers from being plus size and had many of the same thoughts. I felt it was ver well represented in that part. I found the book funny, cute and hard hitting. Thank you for stepping out and writing the book.

For me this book was well paced and interesting. It’s a memoirs and I struggled to understand someone had to go through some of that stuff. When it was in the grief stage I was impressed with how much was shared and I feel it gives hope to others who have lost people with negative experiences.
