At first I thought this book is about nutrition and how to get healthy, but I actually find it interesting. A fiction that deals with an important topic.

You have me going back and forth - I’m not a thriller person, but you gave great reason to pick up this book. Do I risk being scared to death for a great read??? I’ll put it on my shelf, for sure.

I really love the book's cover. I can't imagine being a teenager who suffer from obesity with some health problems, fat-shaming from his family, and an OCD serial killer who only targets obese people. What a compelling story! But honestly, I'm not a fan of thriller books. I got anxiety from that. Thank you for a great review.

What a captivating story! The issues you handle about obesity are so common that anyone can relate; and to add to the equation a serial killer obsessed with keeping in shape, just wow! I'm intrigued to know what will happen to these three characters. Thanks for this amazing review

This is interesting. Readers can understand the characters because the author reveals their past as a root for the way act at the present. Being obese and being a serial killer are serious issues and the characters have portrayed it well. Thanks for the review.

This is a psychological thriller through the perspective of three different characters: Jeremy, a obese teenager who suffers bullying, Sue, a public health nurse, and Darwin, a serial killer. Each one of them seem to have different ideas and purposes, but they stories are going to converge. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

I can't wait to read this. I love thrillers and this has a unique spin to it, a serial killer targeting those who are obese. I would love to see how Darwin is caught and if Jeremy overcomes his obstacles and wins the lawsuit.

Nice review! The book seems interesting and I love reading books that tackle real life issues with a mix of action (serial killers) am definitely reading this book.

Obesity is a serious problem in the US and this book is very relatable in that aspect. On the other hand, I was shocked to find out there is also a parallel story, the serial killer story. Also, the fact that the author chose to change characters, and therefore point of views, chapter after chapter makes the book even more intriguing. Congrats.

I can relate to Jeremy for his obesity. The element of surprise is the serial killer that happens to be the antagonist. Sue is fighting hard for a good cause. I like the characters in this book. Thanks for the review. Congrats on the BOTD!

Between the legal case against the food industry and the serial killer at large, it sounds like this book has a ton of interesting themes going for it.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller about an overweight teenager trying to lose weight, a public health nurse he is assisting to sue the food industries and a serial killer targeting obese people. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

This review is thorough and well put together. Kudos to the reviewer.
An intriguing read and from the few chapters that I've sampled certainly worth the read. There is a great flow to the story line and though in retrospect the issues that are embodied in the lines of it's pages can be heavy the writer was crafty enough to not make the issue weigh down the story.
Congratulations to the author on the BOTD. Worthy of a place on the bookshelf!
