However, the writing style of the author is enjoyable and had me in stitches at the utter filth of it. In a time when things are so serious, this was a lighthearted lift that needn’t be overthought.
I did think the larger issues such as EDs and family trauma were handled a little too lightly and were owed deeper analysis & integration in the plot.

However, I do think the heavy topics that are introduced and never really dealt with or just mentioned flippantly (grief, ed, bad relationship with parents) make this book feel so lacking and as if it's ticking off trauma boxes.
Also, this book has been marketed elsewhere as lgbtq, and while there are women having sex with other women in it, the sex scenes and people seem soooo straight and binary.
And I agree with any criticism regarding the character and her naivety/unbelievable or repetetive sex scenes.
Read it if you want to, but I guess there are other easy reads/fun books with more insight, sensitivity, or better sex to choose from imo.
that the protagonist ends up with a woman and is miraculously freed from any self doubt or insecurity is weird and irritating. Her sexuality and character arc both dont fit this instant 100% turnaround</spoiler
