La verdad ahorita no tengo mucho que decir más que pega, pega mucho, es muy rápido de leer y toca el tema (a mi criterio) de la mejor manera y profesional posible, lo cual no me sorprende ya que la autora es terapeuta, muy buena historia, realista y repito pega mucho, busquen las advertencias antes de leerlo.

It was a great book. Not the best I've read, but a good one. I had little troubles to love the characters, but I did love the story. The past intertwined with the present... The character development was really present. Following Stevie throughout every step of an ED recovery AND grieving was really interesting. I liked it. During my reading, I could see the message that was transmitted by the characters, etc. It is okay to feel emotions, we just need to find balance.
We are all a little fucked up.

Well, since it is about an eating disorder, it is rough. The language, the background, it can be really triggering. So yeah, be careful.
