 "I mean a fat, ugly man can still be funny and lovable and successful," continued Jane. "But it's like it's the most shameful thing for a woman to be." 
 "But you weren't, you're not--" began Madeline. 
 "Yes, OK, but so what if I was!" interrupted Jane. "What if I was! That's my point. What if I was a bit overweight and not especially pretty? Why is that so terrible? So disgusting? Why is that the end of the world?" 
 Holy crap, this book is amazing! This is actually the first review I've ever started without actually finishing the book and the only reason I'd not finished it is because I ploughed through it and ignored all my "low Kindle battery" warnings. 
 Despite not actually reaching the climax of the novel, I would easily recommend this book to everyone who hasn't yet read it. 
 The characters are so easy to connect to and to get along with and the book doesn't feel as long as it actually is. Jane is new to town, Madeline is feisty and Celeste is a beautiful woman trapped. 
 My heart broke over and over again for Jane and she was the character I could connect to the most. 
 The mystery is something I'd not read before and I enjoyed the little bits at the start and end of chapters where other characters would be talking to the reporter, that was something I'd not experienced before and I found some of them so funny! 
 Sure, you have to get through a bit of a slog at the start (hence the 4 stars instead of 5, sorry!) but once it gets going it really goes! Despite the book being over 400 pages long it feels like half of that as it's very easy to fall into the story. 
 The biggest downer about this book was nothing to do with the book itself, instead it was the file that NetGalley had sent. Some pages read like a very stilted poem as sentences 
 would just 
 cut off like this, and 
 it tended to get a bit annoying. 
 After finishing the book I can honestly say that it had one of the best (and unexpected) endings that I'd ever read. 
 Overall, I would totally recommend this book and I'm kicking myself for not catching the show earlier this year!
