STRONG TRIGGER WARNING. This book is HEAVY. It’s hard to read at times and goes into a lot of details of eating disorders and death. Do not read if you are easily triggered. If you do, please read with caution.

It was a beautifully written book that was deeply upsetting. It explored a girl’s eating disorder and other mental health challenges from her point of view, allowing the reader to see her perspective and learn from it.
