for a mainstream book with humorous tones, it does well overall, and I’m grateful. love the solidarity between women, especially Madeline and Jane’s friendship. I got emotional at many points.
« Je veux dire, un homme gros et moche peut quand même être drôle, sympa et brillant. Mais on dirait que, pour une femme, être grosse et moche, c’est le summum. Il n’y a pas plus honteux. (…) Nous vivons dans une société obsédée par la beauté, un monde qui considère que le plus important pour une femme, c’est de faire en sorte d’être séduisante pour les hommes. »
