4.0
I cannot overstate how much fatphobia is in this book. I caution all readers.
Aside from that this was a funny read set during the Interbellum, just before WWII, where the main character reflects on past present and future.
I read the physical and audio version of this book simultaneously, which helped me stay focused during the slower parts of the story.
