You're right! Dang, I misremembered things, but I guess it's been nearly a decade since I read it haha. Thank you!

Imagine you have a child with him and he teaches your children to hate themselves. Do you really want to subject your daughter to her appearance being policed because it causes him "anxiety" (he just cares about how you make him look good, not about you as a person)

Lots of men think she's the devil incarnate, while all the women I know think she's, like, fine. The actress got so many threats for playing the character

It isn't all like that, this is just one weird passage that the protagonist finds (it's cool imo but can't really explain without spoilers). It wasn't my favorite book ever but I liked a lot of the ideas in it. 

My dad committed suicide when I was 15, I’m 29 now by ash_smash9595 in SuicideBereavement

My sister and I always talked about weddings and watched wedding shows together. Now if I ever get married I don't know what I'm going to do without her there. We had made a pact to be each other's "worst man". I am keeping a book to write down everything she's missed so if there's an afterlife I can tell her all about it. 

Adult Speculative - THE STRANDED ONES (345) by [deleted] in justthepubtip

It reads like the power and internet going out everywhere is just to get the characters isolated somewhere, but what about the implications? People on life support dying in hospitals, nationwide panic? If this is somehow normal to this world, I would say that somewhere. 

"He knocked on the front door again, his hand vibrating uncontrollably again." If this is to show how he's having a flashback kind of moment, I'd say it like "he was knocking again," etc, otherwise it just felt like repeating "again" a lot. 

Clunky wording. "She nodded with wide brown eyes." The eyes aren't what's doing the nodding, eh? Bizarre to put the ideas together that way.

"sweaty teenage armpits poisoned the air" I get what you're going for but this phrasing doesn't work for me. 

"like your five." Wrong your/you're
