This was a weird and wonderful book. I found myself grossed out, fascinated, and feeling seen at every turn.

3.5

there were some essays in this i adored and others that left me very meh. i know the author suffered from eating disorders so i understand she was a writing from a place of dealing with that, but some of the fatphobia in this book was a little hard to read
