What the fuck is soft spaghetti? As opposed to just, er, spaghetti

I wonder if one of the 'rollercoaster of new meds' was the Tramadol? (Seriously, who taught her to write?)
Note the breadcrumbing about health with a very obvious implication given the picture, needing time off, weekly appointments (!) etc.
'It's a hard look at my own behaviour'....well, we know this never happened, don't we dear?

“A deliberately striking photograph” mmm.

didn’t she say the rinsed hoops was borne out of someone who contacted her saying they always had spaghetti hoops leftover from their foodbank parcel and she was trying to do something imaginative with them?
At one point it was a specific brief she had been given by a food bank. This is the most 007 it ever got, iirc.

I wish Glen would pick some old skool stuff for Pump instead of obscure rap and trap songs!

All of this but to be fair to them she's breadcrumbed more cock than Bernard Matthews so they would have a bit of hope

Is she emulating Sinead O'Connor here?

I have often wondered about how she came by her, er, distinctive writing style. I think she’s read a lot of misery lit, especially the late 90s stuff like Elizabeth Wurtzel and Marya Hornbacher. You know, middle class white chick recounts in highly dramatised prose how she nearly died fromdepression/addiction/ED etc

Then I’m also getting some top notes of Sylvia Plath (of course) and an undertone of jolly hockey sticks schoolgirl stories (I bet Mallory Towers was her first literary love).

occasional aroma of Marian Keyes and even a teensy bit of Martina Cole when she’s getting lairy on the haunted bird app.

All pasted over with a patina of that good ol’ literary liar and alleged sexist bully, James Frey.

the best thing is that it’s really easy to parody her style (it’s already parodic let’s face it) which is just one reason why these threads are so fucken funny

I absolutely HATED Prozac Nation. Set me right up for seeing through munchie babies like Jack though.
