spinesinaline's review
3.0
Maybe more like 3.5. Really well-written short stories (despite the VERY long sentences) but the title story was relentless with its fat-shaming and basically used a fat woman as a metaphor for the whole thing.
I always feel mixed about short stories cuz I never totally 'get' them and they're often too short for me to really get into. The title story was the longest so it went the most in-depth but again the fat-shaming just put off the whole thing for me.
My favourite was probably Where the Bodies are Kept - I really liked the main character and was invested in following her story, but I would've liked more to see how the present-day beginning fully connected to the flashbacks.
