Om boken
Retail worker Emmett Truesdale has never fit the Southern California mold of six-pack, suntanned masculinity. Over three hundred pounds, he carries the weight of his childhood trauma and millennial ennui around his waist and in his soul. After trying every diet under the sun, he remains stuck—in his dead-end job, in love, and in his body. Desperate for help, he enrolls in a clinical trial for a new weight loss product called Obexity. The treatment is as horrifying as the results are miraculous and as Emmett sheds pounds at superhuman speed, every part of his life improves overnight. Unfortunately, Obexity comes with some killer side effects, including lost stretches of time and overwhelming cravings. Worse, people who were cruel to him have started disappearing and when the police warn of a cannibalistic killer on the loose, he fears that Obexity is turning him into a monster. But how can he give it up now that people are finally starting to treat him like he’s human? Nerve-racking, sinister, and at times surreal, <i>Nothing Tastes as Good</i> is an unputdownable thriller that combines the body horror and social commentary of The Substance with the best of Stephen King and keeps you guessing until the final page.

“(Spoilers below) Wow, what a ride this was! I was eyeing this book for a couple of months now, it had a really interesting premise (and not going to lie, the cover drew me in with the bloody donut), but I could never imagine how much I would actually love this book. It was a combination of riveting and disgusting at the same time in the most amazing way, I was hooked from the very beginning. The story follows Emmett's story mostly through his POV as he experiences it, but in between chapters we get documents, reports, interview snippets, instagram and blogposts that makes the story so much …”
