The amount of references to the characters tits can be alarming but I guess if you take into consideration the fact that she’s being viewed from the perspective of men that perhaps you’re supposed to feel Icked out by, it begins to make sense. Other than that, the book has left me with a lot of questions & if you like stories that leave you questioning whether or not the characters are likeable or not, in a decently successful philosophical kind of way, then this book really is very gripping. 

I’m annoyed that I knew the “revelation” before reading the book cos damn, if I hadn’t - the build up is sweeeeet.
