The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
Did not finish book. Stopped at 48%.
I got through half of the book, but the main character war absolutely insufferable. I was annoyed with him most of the time.
Plus, I couldn't help but to roll my eyes every time the only fat character was mentioned. I understand that writing a fatphobic character isn't the same thing as supporting fatphobia, but making the only fat character a slimy, greasy, disgusting man, seems purposeful. I couldn't stand the over-the-top descriptions used for that character. Unless there is some great reveal in the second half concerning this, he just seems like a tired stereotype.
