It's uncomfortable, and it should be

This book spotlights some very controversial issues.  I think especially because of that it deserves five stars.  This is not a feel good story, and it isn't meant to "satisfy" the reader.  The point is to create realistic awareness about events and feelings that people do not often talk about.  It's true that there are pedophiles in the world, it's true that in many cases the victims of that kind of abuse don't talk about it because of confusing feelings, shame, guilt, etc.  It's true that when "bad things" happen to us they can be buried so deep that they manifest in the forms of depression, addiction, or an eating disorder.  Eating disorder recovery is also not a linear path, so a linear storyline wouldn't do justice to what it takes to re-open wounds, "clean them out" so to speak, and patch it back up to properly heal.  Lisa does have a lot of hardship, and this hardship helps the reader understand the origin of her disorder and why it's so hard to let it go.  There are real people that go through stories similar to this and even worse.  So much of society lives in a bubble where we don't want to think about the hard stuff, and when we hear about the hard things we are quick to judge what others SHOULD do.  This book isn't about what Lisa and the other characters should have done, it's about revealing the ugly truth.  When the truth is ugly, we tend not to like it.  Just because a story feels uncomfortable doesn't mean we berate it.  I applaud the courage of the author to write "the way it really is."  It's not easy to take the hardest times from your own experiences and reshape it into a story that can help others understand taboo truths and a sample journey of what it's like to have an eating disorder in the family.

Because there is an elastic in the back regulating the size, it is a bit uncomfortable. I cannot teach with it on!

It is not so great because it uncomfortable.  The keyboard is so small, but even with that, I will prefer that to use the screen keyboard

can't stand wearing it. So uncomfortable. It would take months to get used to the feeling of being choked all day.

It's basically not comfortable and the material is too thin.

Tight in the neck and sleeves. The netting in the skirt is awlful.  It is not comfortable at all.

I don't think it's believable, but it's attractive all the same. That said, it was very uncomfortable between my fingers. I wore this for 2 weeks on my honeymoon in place of my wedding ring and I couldn't wait to get it off. But for the price, I suppose comfort is expected to be lacking.

After using it for about a month it start felling uncomfortable, prickling me. Seems that the sewing make it not comfortable. At this point, even really liking the look, I stopped using it.

It does seem to be made with decent enough parts, and it does look nice, which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of one.

But as far as comfort goes, the padding is basically nonexistent .  It's there, but once you sit down, your basically sitting on wood, and I don't mean after a few minutes I mean right away.  Fender should be ashamed.  Just for reference, I'm 6'2" 200 pounds.

 I just wrote the review to let others know, it ain't worth the money, if u want any form of comfort .

It does it's job, but is not very comfortable. I think a better design would be adjustable straps, not velcro. The velcro has the one side that if it is against your skin is irritating.

There is no stretch to it.  A little stretch would make it better and more comfortable.

Can't understand how this gets so many good reviews. These things are definitely NOT comfortable. Feels like an attempt at "comfort" but in reality it feels so uncomfortable. Like semi-vinyl-ish etc. Kind like trying to polish a t*rd. In the end it's still a t*rd.
