I particularly loved the way her mother handles the mishap; she didn't get angry, instead they talked it out together.

The diversity representation is fantastic, none of it is tokenised or used as a plot device. They're just characteristics of characters, that's it, it was so refreshing!!

If you're chronically and/or mentally ill or are neurodivergent in any way, this book is not for you. The bottom line is “do whatever it takes to reach your target even if it literally almost kills you”. 

This guy makes himself out to be superhuman and wears his self-inflicted injuries and near-death experiences like badges of honour. 

While I understand that this was not the focus of the book and its research (perhaps another data gap to add), trans people weren't mentioned a single time, not even in the medical chapters. When obviously they should be included, especially since other intersections were included (such as race and social class).

Could be gayer
