If that feels like a lot, it is… but by the end, we realize that’s kind of the whole point. This book has everything: lesbian sex, mommy issues, eating disorders, frozen yogurt, plus-size golems, Jewish mysticism, weirdly specific fantasies about coworkers, a fat chick as the love interest, and a whole lot more. What a breath of fresh air it was for those accolades to be right! It received a ton of good press ahead of its publication from big-name magazines.
In the age of gushing blurbs, it’s hard to know what book, if any, can live up to the hype that precedes it.Ĭolor me pleasantly surprised by Milk Fed, Melissa Broder’s second novel (Scribner, February 2021). I tend to shy away from new books that get a swell of early praise from mainstream sources, and I’m often vindicated in doing so ( American Dirt, anyone?).
