A short horror story about new weight loss methods and the way body shaming can lead people into bad situations.
When her mother signs her up for a new experimental weight loss program that finally promises to eradicate fat people, our main character feels herself compelled to go (After all society has always told her how undesireable she is as a fat woman). But the diet doesn't effect everybody the same way and soon the main character will face new issues.
I enjoyed that this book attempted to show the bad side of body shaming and especially how often other people want to make decisions for a fat persons body without their consent. I also liked that the main character found herself mainly impacted by the bad way people treated her, instead by her body. However I would have liked more depth there and exploration of how this is bad, instead of the focuss of her body being the problem.
Of course this is a very short book, so I wasn't expecting too much, but unfortunately it just didn't entirely work for me. Especially the ending is very abrupt and sudden, pushing the story from an exploration of the dangers of untested medical science to wastly bigger sci fi without enough exploration of the implications there. Still I am glad I checked it out and the cover on scribd is very pretty.
