[Hannah · Rating 3 out of 5]

My opinion of this book depends a lot on what the author intended by it. I’m choosing to read it as a feminist book that features a woman who is ambitious, confident and direct (honestly admirable!!), while critiquing a society that would take advantage of her “air headedness” and judge her for being what everyone wants to be (hot!).
That being said, it’s probably actually meant to be a laugh at the expense of bimbos. Definitely fatphobic 👎🏻
