Waisted by Randy Susan Meyers
3.0
As a woman, I know that weight can be a very sensitive subject, for each individual, but I was drawn to the synopsis of this novel. Waisted takes the provocative subject of size and weight and uses it to tell the story of Daphne.
I myself can turn to food in an instant when I’m having an emotional day, and this novel resonated with me to a degree. It borders on eating disorders by discussing the small amounts of food that are being eaten, but also takes the idea home that we should value our bodies. It felt a bit stiff at times, and u fortunately I felt disconnected with the characters.
*Thank you to netgalley and Atria Books for this complimentary book. All opinions are my own.
