This book deals with the following issues:
• Graphic descriptions of medical conditions (including open wounds)
• Medical trauma
• Body dysmorphia
• Fatphobia (both internalized and external)
• Secondary character’s struggle with domestic violence
Also, please note that the heroine in this book is one of many victims of the misogynistic, fatphobic American healthcare system. Her pain and obvious serious medical condition are continually overlooked, ignored, and minimized, and she’s also told multiple times that weight loss surgery will be a magic cure for her problems. The scenes describing this are graphic and meant to be intense, emotional, and infuriating. If reading about fatphobia and misogyny in the healthcare system is in any way triggering for you, please proceed with caution and stop if it gets too painful for you.
