I think this was supposed to be funny but it ended up making me want to cry??
I love the premise, and the fat and over 30 narrative snark was fun at times, but very uncomfortable more often than funny.
Trying to be fat positive in a society that generally hates fat people for just living, the dry humor sticks to the bones, but did not hit my funny bone.
Perhaps too sarcastic or ironic in tone, but maybe also too close to home for me to really enjoy???
I liked it?????
