Although I’m going to stick with reading this, I often wonder what the impact is in readers who see the fat means ugly trope or you must have clear skin all of the time to be considered beautiful. I also really, really dislike suicide as a plot device.
I know this would be a different story, but sometimes I wish that they’d stick with the original character and show what growing in self-love and self-worth looks like rather than the whole new character possesses the body and self-esteem issues almost immediately get addressed...
A lot of this could be triggering and I hope this doesn’t negatively impact people.
