I enjoyed this book, but there is a fatphobic chapter that was so harsh that it took my breath away. Also, A is kind of a stalker.

Nora (the dog) dies about halfway through the book. It is a significant part of the plot, but it's still heartbreaking!

ENOUGH WITH THE FAT JOKES ALREADY JESUS CHRIST

Rounded up from 4.5 stars due to the evocative descriptions of Protactile and Haptics.

If you're going to have a character who is so incredibly Italian that she despises American pizza, she probably wouldn't love hazelnut lattes or give her kid a foreign spelling of an Italian name. I know this observation makes me a pill.
