    While not the best story i’ve ever read it was fun! I liked the references to fanfic and book spaces and it was a refreshing read

    Thank you to NetGalley and Tor for this arc in exchange of an honest review!

    Whilst I had read the original novel, the art style of the adaptation drew me in and with some other graphic novel adaptations I feel like some context often gets lost due to the nature of having less words and thus less emotional descriptors but in this one I didn't feel like context was lost in any way and often times felt as though the images helped bring even more to scenes. Lovely work and I hope to see more

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    Dear god I love translated fiction and I loved this book. I love getting to experience how other cultures write their stories while still getting a sense that we are all connected in the end.

    This is not a thriller-mystery that the marketing on the book suggests and I wish these publishing companies stopped pulling this crap. It is SUCH a disservice to great books. I know you guys wanna sell your books but I hate reading reviews on this one in particular.

    It’s a slow, methodical, and quietly reflective story of what impact feminism, the patriarchy, and cisheteronormativity are on women’s roles in their relationships. I was worried that this 450ish page length would be too long, but the length gave the author the ability to explore so many topics at such detail.

    And while I might be alone in this, I found it to still be queer despite it not being a major topic. Questioning why when someone doesn’t follow typical gender roles they are automatically pushed to “being like a man” is something so often explored in other queer literature that I couldn’t help but connect to this.

    This story was so personal to me. Men’s inability to take care of themselves and the pressure put on women to take care of these men. How women are so often minimized to their weight, beauty, age, and ability to be a caregiver. To explore all of that through food and those vivid descriptions??? ….Wow.
