challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced

---

A very tough listen, especially in the first half when young Jennette had no agency and very little understanding of the fact that she was being mistreated.
Simply but well written. Could perhaps have been just a bit shorter.

A gripping, fast-paced journey through the dark world of disordered eating, loving and acting. Very emotional as the reader knows what she tells us naeively as her child self isn't 'okay' and the excuses her Mother spouts are sick in many ways. Positive resolution, not in the 'and they all lived happily ever after' kind of way but more in a 'dragging yourself out through the mud of the trenches' via multiple tries at therapy and self-actualisation kind of way.
