Review of Binge
[Following is a volunteer review of "Binge" by Anne Pfeffer.]
Sabrina Hunter, an aspiring author who is the personal assistant to a movie producer, leads a stressful life. She comforts herself by bingeing on whatever junk food she can land her fingers on. When her book agent reaches out to her to publish her book, Sabrina feels pressured to make some lifestyle changes in order to lose weight and be in the spotlight. She decides to start attending a support group in hopes of making a change, during which she meets Daniel, her love interest, who plays a role in her self-acceptance. Binge by Anne Pfeffer is a captivating novel that explores the challenges and complexities of navigating love, relationships, and self-acceptance in the modern world.
As the story unfolds, Sabrina battles with the thoughts of purging and liposuction, all while dealing with the childhood trauma of abandonment by her parents. Despite her struggle with food and body image issues, she showed much courage and a willingness to change. The author’s writing was fun, witty, and entertaining, drawing readers into Sabrina’s emotional turmoil as she grapples with her insecurities and confronts her past. The characters were well-developed and relatable, with their flaws and vulnerabilities making them feel authentic and compelling.
I also enjoyed the unexpected love story. The dynamic between Sabrina and Daniel was electric, with their banter and chemistry adding a layer of tension and excitement to the story. Their love story navigates both the physical and emotional aspects of any relationship. During one conversation, while Sabrina was feeling insecure, Daniel said, "Sabrina, you are gorgeous and totally fuckable woman right now! Can I be any clearer?" This was a turning point in her self-discovery journey as she learned to embrace her imperfections and love herself for who she was.
There was nothing I hated about this book. The book shed much insight on the sensitivity of societal pressures and expectations that many individuals face in today’s image-driven culture. It delved into the importance of self-acceptance and embracing one’s own identity. It’s one of those "easy-to-read" books, and I found myself just reading chapter after chapter with ease. Thus, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Overall, Binge is a heartfelt and engaging novel that mentions important themes of body image, food addiction, self-acceptance, and relationships. This novel delivers a positive and empowering message about self-worth and body positivity, encouraging readers to embrace their unique selves. I would recommend this book to readers who like contemporary fiction with a touch of romance. Also, it would be perfect for readers who like a quick read.
