3.0

The way she refused to refer to her roommate by name, but as soon as she discovered her roommate had trauma she switched to her name was… really beautifully done.
There is a point about 200 pages in where the book seems to drastically change pace. It just slows right down, as if time decided to stop moving.
And then it all kind of happens at once, in a way that feels a little skipped over, in ways.
There are definitely some big content warnings for this book, so if that’s something you might need, I would recommend looking them up. Most notably, this book follows a girl with an eating disorder in a treatment centre for eating disorders. Other warnings I would note are suicide attempts, suicidal ideation, drinking, abuse, and car crash.

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.
