A review by bookswithbibi
Funeral Songs for Dying Girls by Cherie Dimaline
Did not finish book.
EDIT 5/11/2023
There seems to be some mixed thoughts re. whether fatphobia was present or not. As I DNF'd this pretty early, I cannot comment but from the little I read there was only one comment that made me uneasy but that could be easily explained by Winnie's age/maturity.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
Original review:
Unfortunately, I think I need to DNF this.
I really wanted to enjoy reading this because of the premise, and I loved Cheri Dimaline's other books, but within the first few chapters, I just found the story to be confusing and dragged on. I haven't really come across the fatphobia (yet) that's been mentioned by other reviewers and I think it's best for me to stop before it really ramps up.
