I liked this book. It was quick, had a bunch of interesting characters and kept it realistic, more or less. The characters are introduced well and their backstories are explained in a manner that makes you connect well with them. While this genre isn't usually my go to, I'm glad I had a chance to read it thanks to NetGallery. This book is a good one time read, preferably sandwiched between two books of the genre you love!

This might be a case of it's not you, it's me but I'm really sure.
The way it's written is quite dry, too dry for me at least. I wasn't interested in any of the main characters. The only one I really connected with was David and I dreaded reading about him because I knew that meant having to withstand reading the fat shaming made towards him, and it wasn't just a snide mark here or there, it was brutal.

David experiences far worse bullying over his weight just in the first chapter than I have in my entire life and and I was over weight my whole high school life and most of my adulthood so far. It was just so cruel and I really struggled to get through it.
I don't doubt that it is real to life though because I know just how cruel people can be and perhaps its worse over in America? I think it's good for people who aren't fat, and have never been fat to perhaps read it to better understand what it's like but I wouldn't advise actual fat people to read it.
I didn't really like that they went with the stereotype that fat people eat and eat and eat. I never would have raced to the toilet just to eat a chocolate bar between classes or chosen what food my meal would be just based on which gave you the bigger serving but I did relate to doing your best to avoid being seen getting seconds or not admitting to being hungry because you're worried what people would think.

I struggled to connect with Naomi for the same reasons I usually struggle to connect with any character that's middle aged, she's married and has kids and seems to be doing well in life and is obviously being tempted by an affair. I just can't connect to that as someone who is only 24, doesn't want kids and isn't really that interested in the whole marriage thing either and I quite averse to affair plots. I just don't understand why you wouldn't just leave your partner if you were thinking about wanting to have sex with someone else.

I didn't really connect with Matthew at either but I can't really pinpoint why.

I just don't think I was the main demographic for this book, and that's okay.
If you do like adult fiction, and everything I've mentioned above then this book is probably for you. Unfortunately it just wasn't for me.

Even though it was an interesting set-up, this book with three points of views... two of the main characters were really not that interesting. A teacher who thinks of anyone but himself as zombies and a lady who corresponds on Facebook and keeps telling herself she is not going to have an affair, it made me close this book. The other main character, an obese teenager, was the most interesting character of all, but not worth pursuing to be honest.

I quite liked this book. First I found it difficult to get into it, but as I carried on reading I liked it more and more

I really enjoyed this book. The three main characters, (David,Naomi and Matthew), were an interesting bunch. The book flowed very well and the characters were well developed. I finished this booki awhile ago, and the characters are still with me. Each charecter is dealing with something and to see how they deal with it, is one of the reasons to read this book. The other is it is just plain good!!! Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review.

Beautifully written and very original. The characters are fascinating and unforgettable.

I went into this expecting to love it and just did not. Because I would have given it (maybe) two stars, I didn't leave a review. I was just ... bored. It felt gimmicky and way too precious.

The book is told from the perspective of three different characters. One of them I loved, the young boy struggling with his weight. One I was ambilivent about. Unfortunately the third I hated. It was told from the perspective of a woman having an affair with someone elses husband online and it was far too explicit for me. The sex scenes are completely over the top and threw off the balance in the whole book.
