Reply to comment by Outside-Associate-46 in Pro-tip: If a well reviewed book has a Goodread's rating of around 3.5 then it's usually interesting by Proper_Cold_6939

I understand why it was disliked. For me it had WAY too much talk about constipation.

Her dad pressing the pieces of soap up her ass was a very disturbing read. But the constipation I feel was a metaphor/manifestation of her families inability to deal with her brothers death. They are all constipated and unable to move on or to properly process his death

I understand the symbolism, it’s just really gross. When somebody goes in depth about something like that constantly, it’s not hard to understand why audiences will come out having negative thoughts.
