This book was beautifully written. There are some very triggering fatphobic things in this book, but they are written as a character experiences the things most fat kids go through as a child. My heart goes out to Ellie and I was rooting for her the entire time. I am so glad she had a support system, when she couldn't go to the person who should love her the most-her mom.

The ending had me in tears, as well as the author's note.

My favorite quote from the book: "I realize I have been 'starfishing'; starting to claim my right to take up space in this place."
