There are several instances in which the main character mentions dieting, needing to lose weight, etc. to simply look better; it was triggering for me, she at one point mentions that restricting at one time of the day means she can eat later

I struggled a bit with this book, tbh; on one hand, it knows how to be fun, on the other, the narrator is an absolute ass of a person and is up his own
the 'extra' chapter also had a couple of scenes that feel wrong to read, felt uncomfortable
im talking about the 'sex' scene -- it felt like someone who wanted to jack off to two people who dont know how it works and also the childbirth -- especially when it comes to the pain descriptions, like, idk, feels weird man, to me this cemented the fact that maybe writing women isn't this man's strongsuit
