Sadly I really didn’t enjoy this. The characters were all very unlikeable and the writing style was not enjoyable for me.

hkburke2's review against another edition

4.5

Rated this 3 stars when I last read it back in 2016. It is wild how much my perspective has changed on some of these plot lines just in those years, and I enjoyed the layers here so much more this time. The fatphobia is really out of control, and is my main (only?) real dislike. The characters are gritty and icky and real and the coincidences which could feel unreal on paper are woven so seamlessly into the narrative that they come to life the way real life coincidences unfold. A slow burn.

The book is split in two halfs, I knew that upfront, and without that knowledge, I wouldn’t have finished it. 
The first half was a dread to read, extremely slow and the male protagonist extremely self-centered.
I couldn’t see where this was going. 

The second half really made up for that, the female protagonist was way more interesting and the pace was faster as well. 
I would recommend it, but not unconditionally.
