I am happy someone wrote Vesta's and Magda's story. Maybe it will be your favourite book. It was not mine brand of speculative fiction.

03/13/24 3.5/5 stars. I loved how claustrophobic being in the narrator’s mind felt. The intensity of her stream of consciousness almost made up for the sparse plot but overall it felt like something was missing. Maybe that was an intentional oversight to really connect how deteriorated her mental state was or maybe it really was all for nothing.

The fatphobia is just overwhelming and constant. The rest of the book is not compelling enough to make up for it.
