My Sweet Revenge by Jane Fallon
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
I got about four hours in because I really wanted to know how it ended. I didn't find the plot predictable. The main character had a side scheme to lose weight and also make her husband fat by feeding him the same foods she was eating, only in whole fat versions. I was a little meh about weight being a way to seek revenge, but I also understand he's an actor and worried about his appearance. But eventually, she starts bodyshaming the crap out of herself. At one point, she compares her body to the fatty gunk that gets stuck in a drain and clogs it, and that's when I was done. What a bummer.
Moderate: Body shaming and Fatphobia
