I listened to this book that’s only 11 hours an a half… but those may have been some of the longest hours of my life. I was so ready to be done with it and I was sure I was at least at 75% and when I checked I hadn’t even made it to the half point mark!?
Here’s why I was so bored and I thought of DNFing many times (but didn’t because NetGalley):
•Within the first chapter the author already used the word “normal” to refer to a straight sized person versus a plus size person which was cringy
•The FMC is so immature I’m not sure what she’s doing in an PhD program!
•The MMC is the most obnoxious cishet white dude you’ll ever reas about. He was even compared multiple times to the obnoxious know it all so I don’t know how that wasn’t a red flag. He was also a shitty person in the past and continued to be a shitty person in the present no matter what the author tried to tell me otherwise.
•Without spoiling there were some redemptions that were unnecessary and I hated and made this annoying.
•Honestly had this been in a high school setting it would have been less annoying and more believable… also you wouldn’t have missed the spice because there’s barely anything here.
•Oh and one more thing: the FMC uses the word shrink (and narrator made it sound just as bad) when someone said they go to therapy, so big ew.
I did enjoy how much the FMC loved herself and her body, although I’m not sure why being fat was a bonding thing with her best friend (that also I have no proof is actually a good friend or viceversa).
Also there’s dog so yay, and I did cry so I obviously felt something else besides dread.
I wanted to love this book going on but sadly it was a huge miss for me…
