This was so fun! I’d love my daughters to read the book, or sons if I had any, but I’d probably have to preemptively talk to them about the 10-15 of the comics that mention weight loss as one of the main character’s important goals.

Hilariously, this is the first book I’ve finished in 2023. I have been ignoring any pressure I feel to read and just letting myself do other things instead, but this one sucked me in for a day :)

Picked that book from my Uncles library. And it's somehow an old book so I imagine if I have read it back at that time I would probably gave it 4 or maybe 5

I really enjoy old comics. I wasn’t crying laughing but it’s a good read.
