The book is too short to cover the topic. Mindy's entire history of being fat shamed is resolved with her parents basically saying "we didn't mean to." An actual conversation didn't occur. Rather than seeing the problem as external, Mindy devices she needs to just love herself. I also hate when authors depict a fat woman as having an average waist and thick legs so she looks more J-Lo than fat. There's an element of still conventionally sexy, so it's okay if she loves herself.
