The edible woman by Margaret Atwood, Margaret Atwood

4.0

---

This is a very metaphorical and peculiar book. The ways that Marian's struggles and loss of identity were written was really compelling and upsetting and I really liked the ending (it was beautiful, in a way?) I probably shouldn't have resonated as much as I did with her mental state manifesting through a complicated relationship with food. Seeing the other characters doing what they were doing was interesting, though I have to admit that the point of some of their characters' went over my head at first (what the hell Ainsley) but it was never dull.
