The Art of the Body by Alex Allison
Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.

Adding for my own reference:
Stoped reading because the level of ableism and fantasising about abuse portrayed by the main character was really off-putting. I don't think she can be redeemed, nor do I care to find out if she is.
