I'm not really blown away by Cookie at all. I like that she's not afraid to call out buffoonery against plus-sized people, but I just never fell for her. Maybe she was too snarky for me. And I sho' didn't care for her 31-year-old-grown-behind-man-abusing-his-power love interest.

His nice-then-nasty personality was fun to an extent. Him and Cookie one-upping each other was fun. Good banter. When he progressed beyond that, I was kind of over it.

The funeral was the absolute best part. Everything else is pretty forgettable.… (mais)

CW: Fat shaming, extreme dieting, poor body image, arsehat parents, sexual content.

I'm going to rip the band aid off and come right out and say that I did not like Cookie. At all. She was an angry and unhappy person when she was fat, and still quite an angry and unhappy person when she was skinny. She was capable of being as cruel to others as they were to her. I know there was some kind of epiphany about self-love in there somewhere but all the agro leading up to that spoiled it for me. She was petulant and down right spiteful at times.

The dieting seemed to be quite extreme and she seemed to be constantly depriving herself of food. I'm not a dietician or a doctor so I can't comment on whether that kind of weight loss strategy is healthy , but common sense would dictate that it was not.

I don't know guys, it just felt like some of the messages were a bit 'off'. I mean the funeral scene people, really? And the super uncomfortable relationships with both of the love interests. They weren't romantic or loving.

Sorry, but this just wasn't for me. The only aspects I enjoyed were the Australian chick and the 'young blogger and aspiring designer' storyline.… (mais)
