A review by andibutts
Milk Fed by Melissa Broder

funny hopeful reflective sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes

3.0

Eh, I'll give it three stars simply because it kept me reading. 
The good:

• Broder's rendering of an eating disorder was spot-on
• Occasional moments of wit 
• Main character was v fleshed out and I enjoyed developing, as the book went on, an understanding of her inner world
• Interesting commentary on desire (I guess lol)
• Tbqh I enjoyed the mommy kink stuff... sue me

The bad:

• The way she fetishizes fat people... oooof that is some MAJOR objectification under the guise of love BS and I hated it
•  The ending was sooo rushed—talk about jarring
• I could just tell from reading it that the main character was Broder (and that Broder is hopelessly self-indulgent)
• Lots of weird sex stuff that was simply in there for shock value
• So many parts were wayyy too on the nose. I.e., Broder does not trust the reader enough to read between the lines 
• The dreams...
