How to Be Eaten by Maria Adelmann

Ew. Gross. The blurb calls it dark humor but I missed any shred of comedy. This was more like being hit over the head with trauma porn wrapped in a cliche, corny and heavy-handed feminist/therapy/self-empowerment schtick. Just. Gross. It wasn't clever. It wasn't deep. It was a fun idea, cheaply done and leaned hard on shock value versus being thought-provoking. It was needlessly and disgustingly explicit in places. Also, from a more pedantic voice of view, the characters all told their stories the same way, when they weren't busy being caricatures. Nobody talks like that in real life/real therapy. This left a strong bad taste in my mouth.
