This novelette was delightful: a super quick, nasty, gooey horror novelette featuring a plus-sized lesbian protagonist who's dealing with a sudden and terrifying medical condition.

I was sold from the beginning when Lisa has to deal with a completely idiotic doctor (because honestly, yes, I could see some jackass being like "maybe lose some weight and *insert spoiler* will stop happening!"), but what really got me was this one particular body horror scene that I can't describe—I'll say it made me literally gag a little. Also, I definitely caught myself crossing an arm over my chest to subconsciously protect myself at one point. 😂

This was my first time reading Ruth Anna Evans' work, but I can't wait to read more now!
