Sweet Desserts
Sweet Desserts | Lucy Ellmann
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Suzy Schwarz has learnt one or two things about life: other people know how you should live better than you do; sisters (especially Fran) can destroy your sanity and self-esteem; lust calls for careful timing because it rarely coincides with that of your partner; and most heartbreaking of all, parents die on you, leaving you grieving. The only thing that provides constant solace when times are bad (and they usually are) is food.

Mehso-so

About two sisters and their relation to each other and their parents. I had some issues with this book. There‘s a lot of sex, nothing graphic, but at times it felt like one of the sisters would have sex with one guy on one page and a different guy on the next. But what really bothered me was that the older sister would send her cast off in her sister‘s direction. And what kind of sisters have this kind of relationship? It‘s just weird.

AnneCecilie There‘s also some fat shaming. The whole family goes on a diet to help the youngest loose weight when she‘s young. And there‘s some casual mention throughout. There‘s also some random questionnaire and such that I never understood the point of. Despite all this I‘m still glad I read Lucy Ellmann‘s debut. (edited) 2w
