All I can say is holy hell. I was hooked from the first chapter and the booing didn’t let me go until way after its end. Holy hell.

I cried like a baby towards the end of this book. In the beginning I was hesitant towards it, it took like 15 chapters until I really decided I liked it, and toward the end I absolutely loved it.

The ED storyline is not the main focus, but it could be hard for some people to read. Personally, with my own struggles with EDs I found it to be oddly inspiring, especially as the sorry developed.

Can’t really recommend this book enough.
