A tad bit disappointed given I usually adore Awad’s style, but the form was far too abstract to properly form any meaning. I do like the themes of beauty and age where she wittily breaks down influencer culture. The bulk of the book is confusing and poorly structured.
Graphic: Body horror, Death of parent, and Fatphobia
