I found it hard to get past the bitchiness of Bridget for a while. And I'd like to point out that this book can be a bit triggering for people suffering from eating disorders or struggling with self-esteem issues etc in some bits.

I really like how Harper Bliss makes her characters real people with real flaws. It makes her books so much more relatable. Jo's self esteem issues are something almost anyone can relate to. The community of characters in the Pink Bean series is just amazing. The romance part is pretty darn good too.

Tall Girl is a Netflix original that centers around Jodi. Jodi is extremely tall and struggles with issues of self esteem due to her height. The movie is, at times, predictable but overall enjoyable. Parts felt a little cliche but took a few fun twists. I would recommend watching at least once.

If only a quick fix really did work....

Quick Fix is not only a gripping read about an awful epidemic, it highlights how easy it is to exploit people. The ones with low self-esteem, the ones desperately seeking approval and the need to fit in or be perfect. It also shows how easy it is to manipulate and hide in plain sight.

Marley is a classic example of low self-esteem and is a product of social media and the pressure that society puts on people. I like her.......I also want to shake her as she's perfect as she is.

Written before Covid-19 came about, Quick Fix is pretty accurate in the measures that are put in place for outbreaks of infectious disease, it's kind of eerie.

I was hooked from the start, it had me thinking and guessing the end result.
