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.

This is a very short short story collection and unfortunately a quite bad one. Some stories seem autobiographical, whereas others just don't pay off due to their shortness and there's a random anti-abortion story at the half point that I found absolutely horrible. I expected some unpolished stories and not the tightest editing, but there was unfortunately no connecting throughline in this magazine nor interesting storytelling anywhere. It jumped from stories of heartbreak to christian preaching to an underdeveloped fantasy apocalypse concept. I know this is a bunch of years old and I've read other short stories by Sumiko Saulson written since then, so fortunately I know that authors work has improved and other authors work might have too, but I did not enjoy this one at all.
