This book had a really neat premise but somehow it managed to take that premise and, through a sea of unlikable characters and glacial pacing, make it boring. You know how when you're in a situation where you can't argue back for whatever reason and you imagine all of the “clever” things you could have said in response even though you never could? That is how the protagonist talks all the time. She's constantly rude to everyone, but not clever enough to be funny.
There is a very silly scene that takes place at a BDSM club about halfway through for no real reason. The character and her brother go to lesbian bars on multiple occasions despite neither of them being a lesbian (this descriptor of the bar is mentioned every time it is described). Every character the protagonist doesn't like (nearly every character in the book) is described via their fatness as if it's a moral failing.
