did not like it

I am hugely disappointed with this one. It's so weird, sexist and gross that I got literally numb the moment I closed this book.

I get the point that women gossip about a lot of things, every tiny details they know about or we think we know of. I get that grandmothers and women talk a lot of weird women stuff. That's not the point of me disliking this book so much. If this one is meant to be humorous and satirical, I get only two percent of it; I find the rest rather insulting, pointless and gender shaming as well as body shaming of both genders.

I seriously doubt what the author was thinking when she wrote and illustrated this book.

The dialogues are really mean, cringy and tasteless. I know what the author is trying to convey but everything came out really bad and gross! I don't want to spoil anything but there's so many parts where I exclaimed many ewws and yucks! Seriously, so many distasteful things enough to last a lifetime. Satirical? I don't need this to know and feel what it is through formats like this.

Stay away from this book.
