Under the Skin by Michel Faber
Did not finish book. Stopped at 91%.

found it boring and the plot to be a little all over the place and the 1000+ descriptions of the mcs breasts were not needed.

I loved this book and have reread it so many times! Only problem is that there were a few things that didn't sit right with me, for example: Jake saying that Poacher's protective hairstyle looked like “crazy snakes”, constantly commenting on Ollie's weight and using the term "throwing like a girl" negatively.
