Phantom Pain by Ruth Anna Evans

3.0

The concept was interesting, but the overall writing didn't appeal to me. Since it was so short, there was a lot of telling rather than showing how the main character processed things. There was also an odd part towards the beginning implying that one of Lisa's students was being abused? But she didn't question or care about it at all, which made me pretty instantly dislike her.

Overall though, I can't fault a short book for not elaborating on things. If you want a quick and easy, gross and gore-y body horror that examines body dysmorphia and beauty standards, this is for you.
