The discomfort of evening has a 3.5 rating on goodreads. I loved it but it's got so many 1 star reviews by outraged people

I understand why it was disliked. For me it had WAY too much talk about constipation.

Her dad pressing the pieces of soap up her ass was a very disturbing read. But the constipation I feel was a metaphor/manifestation of her families inability to deal with her brothers death. They are all constipated and unable to move on or to properly process his death

I understand the symbolism, it’s just really gross. When somebody goes in depth about something like that constantly, it’s not hard to understand why audiences will come out having negative thoughts.
