I listened to the audiobook of Final Draft and it was honestly not my favorite. The whole thing was out of order and there were a variety of things that made me extremely uncomfortable with the plot.
Firstly, the relationship between Laila and Mr. Madison was a massive cringe-fest. It crossed a lot of lines, not sexual in any way, but it went from a professional student-teacher relationship to something more personal. Laila would email Mr. Madison things that just shouldn’t have been said to a teacher. It made the rest of the book awfully weird.
It was also difficult to relate to Laila as she seemed to overshadow the plot of the story more than was needed. Many of her actions were selfish and she projected self-hatred onto others. The secondary characters weren’t even fleshed out and the relationships between each of the characters were poorly written. The plot didn’t even stick with the whole creative writing aspect and was mainly more drama than anything else.
The ending was rushed and too much happened within the last few pages. Although Laila does explore her sexuality, she never officially comes out. There was a lot of female body positivity which is really nice to see in a book! But I feel that was about the only thing going for this story.

First of all, the message and idea behind this film about body positivity is wonderful and there is a lot in this that I can relate to (the opening scene in the gym for instance). Also the exchanges between Renee and Emily Ratajkowski's character were well done in highlighting how people judge the girls who are lucky enough to look like models (I'd be lying if I said I dont do this myself). The problem is it's very poorly executed. For a comedy, I think I laughed once and despite the good message, I found it rather dull. And Renee's big personality change due to her new perceived beauty seemed a little bit far fetched
I did however enjoy Michelle Williams being utterly ridiculous as Avery and there really needed to be more Tom Hopper!
Overall there's a great message in this but I think it sadly gets lost in poor execution.
