The more I think about this book the less I like it. I enjoyed reading it because I was addicted and I haven’t wanted to read a book so fast in a while but also the way she depicts being fat is so… not it. And like I understand that’s how a disordered brain works and it’s realistic but then her using Miriam as like some pawn or whatever was unsavory 🙄
Regardless it was addicting to read in the way sally rooney books are addicting to read like u think abt it bc you’re interested in what these shitty characters will do next!
