Snow by Ronald Malfi
1.0
DNF 16%
Well, it’s my first DNF of the year. Ugh.
This one was giving me bad vibes out the gate with the Bulls Sweatshirt guy. I don’t know if Malfi is fat phobic irl, but goddamn, how many times do you need to mention how big, heavy, messy, chunky, etc. someone is, and liken their body to food. It was so heavy handed and blatantly mean, which might have been fine if it was an internal character moment showing us how that person was, but it was just Malfi’s description of choice for a throw away character.
The dialogue was painful. Like, so fucking bad.
I picked it up because there’s a big snowstorm moving in. I’ll probably just re-read the Shining.
