'He’s in his late forties, probably, and built like a piece of candy corn, but he appears intelligent and good-natured.'
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!
I can look up dorito body & get all sorts of results, but looking up any searches with "candy corn" instead just leads me to how candy corn is made/etc. Does he look oblong? Vaguely, kinda almost unnoticeably wider on top? Artificial and pumped full of HFCS? Tell me, Delilah!!

Something I'm noticing in this is how 2D many of the characters feel. I'm not sure if that's because it's being filtered through Sarah's lens and she's kind of a simple, judgy bitch or if it's the author's intent.
For example the goth girl is a haughty, edgy person who is woke but doesn't care about people's feelings. And the misogynist asshole is entitled and loud and seems to be wholly defined by his sexism?

I keep thinking about these Reddit stories where guys did terrible things with their girlfriends' food. Every time she mentions her mysterious old stomachaches I'm like... did Delilah S Dawson read any of the same posts and work them in to this story? Either way, it's clearly Kyle's intentional doings.

Been vibing to "The Devil is a Gentleman" by Merci Raines while reading this today and I honestly think it is the perfect song to pair with this book.
