My first review
Don't believe authors who say, "Oh I never look at reviews." Ha. They do. We do.
So I was super pleased and happy, and relieved, when the first review for Rules for the Perpetual Diet (my new novel) appeared. Here it is, from Kirkus Reviews:
KIRKUS REVIEW

“People would never say, “Wow, you’re so fat, how do even you fit into a chair!” But skinniness is okay to remark upon. Worse, they often add, “You’re so lucky to be thin,” as if thinness were an accident, as if thinness were a quality you either have or you don’t. But there’s nothing accidental about thinness. Nope. Not in twenty-first-century America.”

“I would like to disagree. I would like to argue. But that’s the problem with the dead. You can’t fight with them, you can’t reason with them, you can’t prove them wrong or yourself right, beg them to choose you, to stay with you, to love you more than death. They are gone. They have left only a big black ugly gash where their beautiful vibrant selves used to be. They no longer give a shit.”
