This Fletch book dealt with issues of race and hatred. For that approach it was interesting and engaging. The main female character is strong, independent, and brave. For that I am grateful. But jeeeeeeez louise, it's still heavily fat phobic and rude and cruel. I mean, ffs, can we lay off the fat jokes and the comments about weight? It got to the point where it was really distracting from the story and frankly totally irrelevant.
