2.0
A boring story about unlikeable characters. Nothing really happened. It was unintentionally sexist. It had potential for huge growth arcs that it blatantly ignored. Nina struggles with disordered eating and body dysmorphia for the entire story but then only starts to like herself once she fully recognises herself as “Brad’s wife and the mother of her sons” - what is that??
Graphic: Animal death
Moderate: Alcoholism, Cursing, Drug abuse, Eating disorder, and Fatphobia
Minor: Child death, Rape, and Grief
