  “Gaitskill's writing is luxuriously sloppy, and impossible to put down. Once again she investigates the world of sadomassochism, obsession, and the way damaged people can lose themselves in someone else (or the idea of someone else) to find themselves. Here she alternates from chapter to chapter between first-person narrated stories by the Fat Girl and third person narration by the Thin Girl, presumably to view different sides of each character. Unfortunately, both narrators sound somewhat alike. Still, a very interesting read and more deftly done, for my money, than Bad Behavior.”
