Unfortunately, this story did not do it for me.
There is too much inner monologue and since the main character is not very likable, this got very monotonous very quickly.
There is also a lot of telling and not enough showing. This made the story quite boring after a while and I found myself not caring about the story or the characters.
Also, the one-liners randomly put in this story regarding social commentary from body shaming to feminism, you name it, was not done well. It felt like the author had a checklist and ticked which -isms she intended to include. It did not add to the story. It just made the main character quite contradictory.
So after a third try of reading this author, I think it's safe to say that this author is just not for me.
