TW: fat-phobia, parental emotional abuse, vague mentions of cultural appropriation/racism. This is such a fun book. It was hard, at times, because the fat-phobia from Skye's mother was hard to read, but overall there is so much hope and happiness in the book. I love watching a fat bi girl just get to be talented and sure of herself even when choosing to do so is hard. I loved seeing a fat girl be cared for and loved so deeply by her friends and the love interest. This book felt like a warm hug from your best friend on your worst self image day.
