The Flip Side by James Bailey
1.0
DNF'd 30% and one star.
There are really needless fatphobia / derogatory stereotypes of fat people and sex workers in this book.
For example, after a supremely shitty night, the MC is "trapped" next to a "supremely large man" smashing down "Sainsbury's meal deal" (which I assume is like a KFC combo) in a really lazy attempt to emphasise how "horrid" his night has been - but babes, we were there, seeing you lose your girlfriend, your job, your home. Why can't he just be on a bus, going home, alone? Why bring a stereotypical depiction of a fat person into this?
Premise was interesting, delivery fell flat.
