No one should listen to the nutritional advice of a book that recommends breastfeeding parents should eat raw dairy.

This is one of the shallowest and most blatently incorrect understandings of Lolita I've ever encountered out of high school book reports. The audacity to put that in a book that believes itself to be about feminism.

There’s some really.... damaging and inaccurate health and medical information here. Such as “going on a liquid diet to remove the toxins from his body”. Ek.

Every time I start to get back into the story something mind boggling racist happens.

This book is so fatphobic it ruined its own emotional moment for a fatphobic joke. Christ.

Claire is possibly the worlds worst mothet

This book just got very fatphobic and very racist out of like. Absolutely fucking nowhere. Holy shit, I feel like I’m losing my mind. This book has so many good reviews???? Are we reading the same book????

It’s incredible how much DG adores writing Jamie raping women that she manages to turn him getting coerced into sex (aka HIM being raped) into him raping a 17 year old. Fucking incredible. Why am I reading this?

Auughfhggghhhh this depiction of famously transphobic michfest as a women’s paradise is gross

This book is seriously “not-like-other-girls” basic liberal feminism. It sucks ass and ends up being pretty fucking sexist!

I would like to state in the record as both a daily rider of public transit and as someone whose been on the NYC subway, fucking on the subway is both unsanitary and rude.

This book is marketed as “new adult” so why can’t it be like. Even a little blunter about the sex and nudity. There are “young adult” books meant for teens that talk about the sex more blatantly. It’s fucking weird to have a scene where a character jizzes his jeans from apparently just hearing his name said and then takes a shower with his crush and doesn’t even comment on the nudity.

Also... jizzing your pants is never hot. Sorry.

Also it’s weird that Alden is like. Blatantly an autistic character and the author instead says he’s undecided “neurodiverse”. Like... him just being autistic could have the exact same point of his moms trying to “fix” him, and it wouldn’t make it seem like the author thinks being autistic is a bad thing. Also “high functioning” is a useless and harmful term

Also Denver has a big, cool, easily googleable game store to inspire something cooler here.

Listen. I know the author just googled Denver. But the insanity of heading straight to cherry creek to try and find cheap food is insane.

He VIOLENTLY BEAT HER??? Cool. This love story is over as far as I’m concerned. I literally do not care what else happens. I don’t care that it’s normal for the time, her love interest violently fucking beat her so it’s a bad fucking love story

I just can’t believe anyone would start writing a border town novel with a cis man protagonist. Honestly, the lack of imagination is incredible.

This book is so good but so AGGRAVATING. I want to whack Norell with something until he stops being such an asshole
