Description

Where some of the stories see the characters make do with their attribute or place them in a situation where this attribute is a convenience, this story takes a more traditional approach where the character must change their ways.

Every page contains a simple act of self-care to take on each day, that will make today just that little bit better than yesterday. Greedy shows us that being bisexual is about so much more than who you’re sleeping with—it’s about finding stability in a state of flux and defining yourself on your own terms. I don't think people realise how much this is going to hit them so when they're that depressed and look at the bank and think where has my last 17.

If we work of the principle of the golden rule (and not the one that says that he who has the gold, makes all the rules) then gluttony isn't necessarily a problem as the only person whom you are hurting is yourself (though this doesn't take into account family and dependants).

Greedy follows Jen's attempts to make sense of herself as she explores the role of the male gaze, what it means to be "queer enough," and how to overcome bi stereotypes when you're the posterchild for all of them: greedy, slutty, and constantly confused.

I found Jen Winston's forthcoming memoir so resonant that I eventually had to stop underlining it because the book was looking ridiculous.

As a cis, bisexual woman, I was excited to read this book, which is likely why I felt so disappointed when I finished it.In one sense the world has changed, and people are discarded in favour of ever greater profits, and companies that seek to do the right thing are punished by the market because they are spending money that is not rightfully theirs. Jen’s work bridges the intersection of sex, politics, and technology, and has been featured by the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, CNN, and more. In her early years she lived on milk and bread under the 'Kensington System'; in her old age she suffered constant indigestion yet continued to over-eat. As they state in the beginning of their memoir, if you find yourself thinking that you should be reading the works of BIPOC queer voices and other voices of color, you certainly should read those instead. Ultimately, however, this book reads like a 280 page Instagram feed or Buzzfeed article written by someone who falls between Florence Given and Lena Dunham.
