I was told this book has an unlikeable protagonist, but I only ever wanted the best for this hungry, horny woman and fully rooted for her the entire time.
Especially when she "ruined Shabbat." Ooh, girl, I've been there!

What does a girl have to do to read a feel-good story about lesbians? Turns out it's quite heavy on the mommy issues and the eating disorder side of things -- I came here to have a good time and I'm honestly feeling so attacked rn?
Some bits were painfully relatable and some meant absolutely nothing to me. Sometimes funny and sometimes cringe. Lots of (orthodox!) Judaism which was nice cuz always in to learn a bit about it (shoutout to my boy Aron xxxx). Still an easy read and yes I was actually quite hooked - what, no, i didnt enjoy it you enjoyed it!
This got mixed reviews and I was willing to put aside the bad ones and judge for myself but then I got about 15% in and wasn't really convinced of where this was going so decided not to spend any more time on this. DNF
