I struggled a lot with this book. On one hand, I loved seeing Allison go through graduate school and befriend her cohort. Additionally, I loved the banter between her and Colin. However I honestly found her so angry as a protagonist. She seemed to take everything personally and react so stubbornly. We also never got to see her work on her teaching style, rather just lie about it to Colin and then feel bitter about it. But I thought the medieval lit angle redeemed it somewhat and it was nice to have a Fat protagonist where the story wasn't about weight loss or self-hatred.
