cw sexual assault, domestic abuse, many many many things

I almost DNFed this, but everyone told me to hang in there. I hated both of the MCs, but things really picked up after a plot twist about halfway through. It was worth reading, but I still didn't end up loving it. [SPOILERS] I can appreciate unlikable characters, but I can't get behind anything that reinforces the stereotype that women lie about being raped and/or abused just to punish or get back at men. A small thing, but Amy also states as fact that she doesn't get catcalled at all after the gains weight and there's no way that would be true and is really telling of what the author thinks of fat women. [/SPOILERS] Yeah, anyway I didn't really find this very special and thought it was fine.
