You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine is a fever dream of a horror novel that starts with our main character (A) having (a maybe stereotypical) phobia of a roommate assuming her identity. A has trouble with both boundaries and asserting herself and so is a bit of a passive main character, allowing her roommate (B) to demand things of her that she is uncomfortable with but capitulates to anyhow. Her boyfriend (C) seems uninterested in her interior thoughts and she is content with that. However, the novel is also interlaced with a mysterious Cult of the Conjoined Eater, a bombardment of advertising, and a bizarre grocery store called Wally's. It is the kind of book you read and then think "What the fuck did I just read?"

I'm eager to engage with others interpretations and reactions to this novel.

While I don't think you can say that this book is about just one fear/anxiety, it does feel like it's a commentary on using both consumerism and 'clean eating' or orthorexia or other eating disorders to cope with the lack of meaning in your life instead of dealing with your own issues (or setting boundaries!!!).

Weird, trippy, and I have thoughts!!
