Proper review to come but for now, here’s some bullet points:
- anti-Scottish xenophobic stereotypes
- lack of nuance/intersectionality in discussion of monstrosity/otherness, particularly in regards to misogyny
- beautiful writing but some really weird passages
- fucking hated the romance
- the fatphobia
