DOGSHIT!!!! Why do I keep reading Frieda McFadden when all she does is piss me the fuck off???? 😤 Maybe because hate-reading is a great hobby of mine.
The moment a character found out one of the patients had a cat and loved them, and then referred to the tired, misogynistic & ableist “crazy cat lady” stereotype, I *knew* I’d hate this book.
Then fatphobia shortly after? Second strike Frieda!!!!!! 🔪
Lastly????? Mental health representation was beyond problematic. Disrespectfully, fuck this book. Third strike and you are OUT, babyyyyyyy ⚾️🧢🏟️
