jessielalande's review against another edition
DNF’d when I got to a chapter that was so fatphobic I couldn’t fathom it.
“Blue had once told me that the best way to hide in plain sight was to get fat.”
“For a month I maintained a strict doughnut, pizza, French fry, and beer diet, eating until I wanted to puke every night. I gained twenty pounds in three weeks. Looking at my bloated red complexion in the mirror, I felt like I could cry. My sudden fleshiness trumped the blondness that once drew stares. I became more and more invisible with each pound I gained”
Now, here is the kicker where I almost threw my kindle across the room:
“…I’d packed on more than twenty five pounds… five foot five, one hundred and fifty pounds.”
EXCUSE ME??? I don’t understand how this is so highly rated.
