Like, I get it....but I hate it....but I'm supportive of it....but I wish it wasn't the way it was and I dislike all the characters.

I'm not usually drawn to domestic dramas, but I was pulled into this book. It's very cleverly constructed and paced, and anyone who wants a story about a woman struggling to take up the space she needs will love it.

Some if the points re: food, desire, and wanting too much as a woman felt very on the nose at times, but the author isn't "preachy" in getting these points across.

Amazing food writing throughout, though some of the eating scenes later on in the  book were a tough read.

I really, really enjoyed this book. I ended up reading it in a little over 24 hours and found myself wanting to come back to it after I'd put it down. I felt the tension and the anxiety as the book continued and definitely think this book deserves higher ratings than it has right now! 
Unrelated to the content of the book but still important, I found the hardcover to be the perfect size and weight 😂
