Would not recommend to someone who had/has an eating disorder. Binge eating and calorie counting is a recurring theme and is described in detail.sophiejohn's review against another edition

If you’ve struggled or struggled with disordered reading; this book can be very sticky. I found myself comforted by how far I felt from Rachel’s thoughts in my growth. But still knew.
This novel is about spirituality, religion (Judaism; Orthodox and former), sex, disordered eating and mothers and mothers and mothers. Rachel is real, messy. A character that feels alive; that I didn’t like seeing myself in at moments.
<spoiler I felt the book moved SO quickly in the last 45ish pages, and my grief about Rachel and Miriam was growing. The lack of COMMUNICATION between them; like we need to talk and not just fuck! But, isn’t that real and honest. I was shocked by the wrap up at the end. Made me appreciate the intimacy of knowing that small period of Rachel.>
