I feel like there’s potential here but it’s just lacking in so many ways.
It needed to be fleshed out better - it felt like the last bit was just tacked on because the author was done with writing it.
I don’t know how I feel about how fetishizing parts of it felt by an author who isn’t fat.
The whole idea of an ED being cured by essentially love is an old trope. This is a different take on it but I still don’t think it really works and nobody is going to convince me otherwise.
People who say this was a sexy book are… well I hope I never fuck them. If raw, real sex involves smelling someone’s shit because they don’t wash their ass well enough then by god I’m happy with my fake clinical sex. And god the mommy kink. I’m so glad my mommy issues have made me just wanna kill mommy and not fuck mommy.
