Everyone's a Critic by Jennifer Weiner

This fell flat for me. Perhaps it would have been better as a longer story? I get the exercise Weiner is doing here, but it was a little too on the nose for me.

Worst book I've read in years. I cannot understand why there are any positive reviews on this book. It was incredibly spiteful and fat-shaming, woman-shaming, anti-feminist, snobby, whiny, and angry. It was really just shockingly awful and infuriating. Nearly every single line was a complaint about something. I cannot get over how many times the author referred to non-skinny women as pigs or piglets and how many times she discounted the value of women by how their "coat has gotten tighter over the year" or "her dress doesn't fit as well as it used to". Sausage fingers, jiggling double chin, these are direct lines from the book. It was really shocking. It was as if I was reading a book by my bitter, hateful, misogynistic boomer uncle. Read this book if you want to be in a terrible fucking mood. Do not recommend!

I love Jennifer Weiner's stories, long and short. Are we going to get a copy of The Comfort Diet soon??
