And yes, Ms. Dade, fat people often do have fraught relationships with exercise, thanks to fat-shaming.

But fat people, like everyone else, also do exercise for non-weight loss related reasons like: having fun, because it's an opportunity to socialize, mental health benefits, to make their muscles stronger, or even just to wake up in the morning.

Like, the guy probably eats oatmeal, hard-boiled eggs and fruit b/c he's a gym bro, not because he thinks you need to lose weight!

Would he have even asked you out in the first place if he agreed with the fat-shamers? Would he have even responded to that comment thread in the first place?

Girl, not every invitation to work out is about fat-shaming. You have way too much of a complex about it.

April is kind of reading as incredibly insecure right now.

Also, April reacting this badly to a casual gym hangout probably makes fat people look worse overall.

After slogging through Zodiac Academy, it's nice to see the main characters being attracted to the other party's brains/intelligence/personality.

So many authors-of all stripes and genres-seem to think that good looks is all it takes to make a main character appealing.
