The Words by Ashley Jade, A. Jade
1.0
0/5 stars.
This book was trashy, badly written, extremely fatphobic, not sensitive enough on very harsh topics and there were no trigger warnings at all!
There was a r@pe scene, where the MC wakes up to another woman eating her out, while her boyfriend watches! He was watching her and encouraging the assault. And yes, this was assault because she was asleep and unable to consent in her condition.
I don’t even want to get into how the MC is only viewed as pretty and only views herself as pretty once she loses weight.
Let me tell you one thing, somebody can be fat and beautiful. Everybody is beautiful!
Fat is not a dirty word, and being fat isn’t necessarily a bad thing, although in this case it was hugely cause to her binge eating disorder (which wasn’t talked in any way) and even though her ED needed to not be dismissed by everyone she knew just because she was fat, losing that much weight isn’t always the absolute best option. You don’t always need to lose weight, or get thinner, you don’t need to be thin to be beautiful and it’s other people’s faults if they can’t see past or through your exterior.
Honestly, this book just ticked me off, I skipped some chapters and skimmed quite a bit because I lost interest, but didn’t DNF because I prefer to only review once I’ve read the whole book. Also, this was marketed as a grovelling trope, WHEN DOES IT HAPPEN?! The last 66 pages or so I guess could be counted but he had no redemption in my mind anyway.
