This might very well be the worst book I’ve read in the last five years. The only reason I gave it the half star is because I there were no grammatical or spelling errors. It’s something… 

The main character is just an empty shell shaped vaguely like a twenty-something woman. She does nothing but complain and hold men to a ridiculous standard set by the heroes in her favourite romance novels. 

The endless hate for fat (both food and people) in this book is very much a testament to when it was written, but that doesn’t make it any less vile. 

I could probably fill a book of my own with complaints about this one, but I’ll stop here. For my own sanity. 

Read this if you’re a masochist.
