This was beautiful and emotional, I cried a few times through it. I was not fat growing up, though I am now, but I was teased and my mom's obvious discomfort with her own body type (that I definitely inherited) made me so self-conscious when I really had the most "conventionally attractive" body type that I ever would have - it makes me sad for Ellie and sad for young me to think about how much I let myself soak that negativity up and let myself feel uncomfortable in my own skin. I was so happy to see Ellie realize she's more than her body, and that she can and should surround herself with loving and supportive family, friends and choose doctors that will help her. The end definitely gave me the warm fuzzies that I was hoping for, and I loved the in-verse storytelling. The cover is super cute, and I won't lie and say that that combined with the knowledge that it was body-positive was enough to draw me in, and I'm so glad it did.
