I'm done. I hope she can do better in her next book. I'm sick of her fatphobic comments (that add nothing to her stories, but severely cheapen them) and I won't be reading any more of her stories unless she makes a change. It's so disappointing.

I'm down with an unlikable protagonist, but Eileen was not interesting enough to warrant her detestable character (and intense, over-the-top, makes-me-think-it-might-be-the-author fatphobia). I enjoyed the womanly yuckiness at first until it was just soooo much puke.
This book could have been, like, a hundred fewer pages. I had to read the Wikipedia plot summary to convince myself to just finish reading it (pulled through for book club <3). In the end, it wasn't worth the effort.
