Sleet Sugar by S.J. Tilly
2.0
A few things didn’t sit right:
— “I was such a spaz”, this is considered an offensive slur.
—Curvy girl consistently commenting on how “bad” she is for eating certain foods/snacks, how she’s “being good” if she avoids them. It’s just upsetting because a lot of this characters personality is loving food, savouring it, and I hate that it’s soured by disordered thoughts over minuscule treats. One minute she’s happily ordering the messy, hardy meals at a restaurant, and the next minute she’s scolding herself for eating peanut MnMs. Lots of weight comments, and FMC monologue about other people weight compared to hers (and the compatibility of a date because of it).
Some parts were funny, caught myself smiling or giggling a few times. Author is good at writing beefcake, possessive men, but I didn’t love the story.
