Sad Perfect by Stephanie Elliot

I don't know how I feel about this book. I definitely do not recommend it if you have or have had an eating disorder as this is pretty triggering. I appreciated the trigger warning from author at the beginning of the book, I always like to see that. I think my biggest complaint is that it's written in second person so you feel very disconnected from Pea and her struggles. I feel there was decent eating disorder representation, some passages really resonated with me and I could really relate to some of Pea's thoughts. I don't know what exactly didn't work for me but something about this just didn't do it for me.
