Okay so I feel like this book gets a bad wrap. Is it perfect? No. Have I read infinitely more challenging and skilfully crafted stories? Yes.
However, the writing style of the author is enjoyable and had me in stitches at the utter filth of it. In a time when things are so serious, this was a lighthearted lift that needn’t be overthought.
I did think the larger issues such as EDs and family trauma were handled a little too lightly and were owed deeper analysis & integration in the plot.
