Women are always the focus of her writing, and through various women’s experiences, she uncovers the darkest pieces of living in society as a woman—the fatphobia, blatant misogyny and stereotypes can be a lot to get through. But isn’t that the reality? It’s through these unlikablw characters thoughts that’s we get to unpack the filth and darkest sides of humanity. Definite trigger warnings though.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the writing - the ability to capture a great amount of detail and portray numerous feelings through each experience is great skill.
These stories are chaotic and depressing - which I'm gathering is to be expected by this author. My favorites were: Maid Marian and Suburban Weekend. While I couldn't relate to the actions of these characters, you could feel the desperation through the pages and it forced you to go through the ugliness with them.
I will definitely be moving on to read other books by this author.
