M. Reapy. You watch the main character as she realises that nobody notices/cares as much as she thinks if she makes a fool of herself, that by slagging herself off she’s giving others permission to do the same to her, that she can challenge her automatic negative thoughts with more positive/helpful ones. It’s really lovely to watch her bloom, and because it’s fiction, there are no pesky activities (I always ‘save them for later’ because I don’t want to lose my reading flow, and inevitably never come back to them!).
