A woman known only as A lives in an unnamed American city with her roommate, B, and boyfriend, C, who wants her to join him on a reality dating show called That's My Partner! A eats mostly popsicles and oranges, watches endless amounts of television, often just for the commercials - particularly the recurring cartoon escapades of Kandy Kat, the mascot for an entirely chemical dessert - and models herself on a standard of beauty that exists only in such advertising.

Any additional comments?
I bought this book because the description made it sound like it would be an interesting commentary of our society's obsession with body image, dieting, beauty, etc. That was not at all what I got. If I hadn't paid for it, I would've stopped listening after the first few chapters. It seemed like the author was trying really hard to be surreal and edgy and failing on both counts. There didn't seem to be much explanation at all for the main character's actions, even though it is written in first-person POV -- she would just do a crazy thing and I would have no idea why she'd decided on that course of action. The ending was also very predictable, which was disappointing. I would not recommend spending your money on this book.
