I just found myself not really wanting to pick this up very often, but at least it was a quick read, and it's definitely a bold story. However, I found this book quite uninspired at times and the ending left me thinking - that's it? Perhaps I'm seriously burned-out from the Disaster Woman trope (as I've mentioned a few times), but watching things unfold made me cringe so hard. I loved the writing in this book, Melissa Broder's sharp, dry and sarcastic tone makes anything she writes a delight to read. 1 She also writes the Beauty and Death column for Elle. Serious trigger warnings here for eating disorder, self-harm, toxic family relationships and homophobia. Milk Fed is a tender and riotously funny meditation on love, certitude, and the question of what we are all being fed, from one of our major writers on the psycheboth sacred and profane. Milk Fed Broder published Milk Fed 14 in 2021, a critically acclaimed 15 novel which Kirkus described as ' bold, dry, and delightfully dirty.' 16 Other projects Broder is adapting The Pisces for Lionsgate Films. it follows antiheroine rachel, a 24-year-old. She has internalized fatphobia and a severe eating disorder, controlling every minute or her life so as not to get fat. milk fed is oozing and bubbling over with bodily fluids, spiritual and familial yearning and sweet, mystical milk.
Milk Fed is the story of a young Jewish woman who goes through an emotional detox from her mother and meets a woman at a local yoghurt place.
I received an advance copy via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
