I was only a bit into this one when I questioned if I wanted to finish. I struggle to read about self-destruction. There are so many uncomfortable parts and Brett’s self-hatred is hard to witness. the Overeaters Anonymous was particularly horrendous. I did find the character’s voices to be more authentic than most issue books that have characters talking in platitudes. I don’t love visiting teen boy vulgarity, but it added a layer of genuineness and often humor. Overall, I’m not sad I read it, and the fat-splaining portions at the end felt less lecturey than other books I’ve read.
