    Chapter Seven: The Flattering Malady

    it is very interesting to hear about this chapter during the current resurgence of thinness. diseases like TB turn bodies “into a skeleton,” and often kill whomever has it, but that image has been romanticized and sought after despite it being a signal of death. it’s fascinating that this trend has been happening for centuries.

    why, in the wealthiest country in the world, are people seeking to look as thin as possible when that is often a sign of serious or fatal illness. it is a privilege to be able to purposefully chase that look while many people have no choice due to illness or lack of food.

    I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately- how people are offended to be referred to as old, not asking women their age, plastic surgery, ozempic, etc. it is a massive privilege to be able to grow old. it is a gift to enjoy food and life and reach a certain age, why have we (particularly women) been so shamed into not wanting that?

    I could go on and on but it’s not 100% relevant to the book, but it’s funny how aligned the chapters keep being with things I’ve already been thinking about recently

    3.0
    Enjoyment: 3.0Quality: 2.5Characters: Plot:

    I listened to the audiobook, and it was very fun to hear Ru’s voice and tell when she was smiling or getting emotional. but those moments are kind of few and far between. it was honestly hard to get through this all, it started feeling like a chore.

    the last 20 minutes (the last two chapters) were the best part- connecting everything from the book to his realization that he needed to go to rehab. that felt like the “hidden meaning” throughout the entire book and that was satisfying to end on, but it just didn’t feel deep or aware enough during the journey- it was satisfying to hear him reach that conclusion because the entire book I’m yelling in my head “GET HELP!!” maybe it reads differently on paper and maybe I went in with certain biases,,, but idk it was mostly just fine. and NO mention of michelle,,, that’s what I was looking forward to the most :/
