I know West Kirby a bit. I can imagine that East London’s premiere fat babe wouldn’t impress most locals much. No matter how many spinning classes she takes and fancy pastries she eats

Wait is "what is a delicious fat witch to do?!" a real quote? Please give us more best/worst bits!
This, also the immature teenage girl in me wants to hear about the sex scenes pls 🫣
The sex scenes aren’t particularly memorable. She doesn’t go hugely in depth, just saying things like “I watched my manicured hands wrapped around his bedposts as he…” and also she’d say things like “he went down on me” rather than being really descriptive. Which is fine by me, I’m happy the book isn’t any longer than necessary tbh.
Everyone the main character sleeps with is lazily described as “hot” and nobody ever turns her down, although she ofc does turn someone down. There is a thread about her brother, who has a family, which seems to be basically a BR comment on how it really sucks to have children?
And yes frequently refers to herself and other fat women in the book as Fat witches. “Slag era” is said so often that I’m embarrassed for her. It doesn’t feel like reclaiming the word slag, which I think is the intention? Just feels jarring.
I haven’t got to the end but I’m going to Dublin for work tomorrow so I’m determined to crack on and at least see if she’s written the lazy happily ever after. If that is the case and the lead character does a complete unbelievable 360’ and ends up with a partner who has ZERO personality/ life / depth/ motive for liking the self centred pseudobert.

Thank you! I was hoping for something akin to the lols from the teen mags of the 00s!
The Amazon reviews are pretty savage lol, Goodreads is pretty good for her, TIL to check Amazon over GR (know they’re both owned by the same billionaire now but very diff
vibes!).Safe flight / enjoy Dublin

Her latest story - "I gasped aloud when I went on the app and saw this instructor" that poor woman. Hope Bethany doesn't go to her class and try to recruit her for her fat gym babes crew, this woman probably just wants to do her job and not be harassed by Bert!
She’s like an Adrian mole style parody of a middle class white #activist woman. Gushing over the fact she’s travelling home on the Windrush line is so funny to me fsr
I thought that too. It’s not ok.
Does anyone else find her ‘instructor reviews’ a bit inappropriate? Either gushing over a fat babe of colour in a bit of a token way or saying ‘well I could just have done a YouTube class but I guess the skilled one on one instruction worked?’ to ‘oh F45, I’m in a gym regular people use and the towels are small, the changing room isn’t USB adapted and it’s all a bit like god, a Tattle reader probably goes here…’
It’s not how I would be introducing myself to the industry as a trainee PT. It’s giving me flashbacks to Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie’s road trip show
Poor Alice, she must be embarrassed
She's such a knob
I looked on good reads, and I don’t think yer güd dude Bert has reviewed Death of a Bookseller. Might be wrong though, happy to be corrected!
as far as I know Bethany doesn’t use GR. Probably far too cool for it
I wonder what would happen if you asked AI to write you something in the style of Bethany rutter
No particular difference? I assumed ChatGPT swapped her from being a lad to a girlie suddenly because it also can’t really do depth or character and resorts to tropes. It would draw the line at that whomst nonsense though…
Was telling my husband this morning that she’s gone so far removed from reality it’s not even funny. Like who plans to go to a political protest and then the cinema afterwards? It’s just a social walk to her isn’t it?
I know this is a very minor point, but - as someone with a hard-to-spell name - it’s nice when people get it right. Elle McNicoll kindly gave you a GORGEY quote, kindly look at how many L’s are in her name.

I’m thinking slow coach will do even worse than the last because her fat babe fan girls don’t wanna read about running
