Milk Fed follows Rachel, 24 years old and obsessed with counting calories and keeping her life consistent and orderly. When Rachel meets Miriam, seemingly the antithesis of Rachel's comfort zone, the balance she has so carefully curated is suddenly thrown off.

I received this ARC before knowing Melissa Broder would become one of my favorite authors. I read another novel of hers, The Pisces, and was so pleased to immediately have more of her writing to read.

The writing style of this book is not for everyone, but it is definitely for me. Milk Fed is told from the first person perspective, and truly I felt like I was living in Rachel's brain. It was simultaneously erotic and nonerotic, but I liked the contrast between the two. It's a niche book, but it was a really great read for me and I look forward to reading even more of Melissa Broder's work in the future.

Big thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for an advanced reader copy. This review will be published on Goodreads as well as Instagram under the handle @literary.erica
