i read this as a teenager and am on a nostalgic re-read of the series. this book is very different than i remember it being, and to be honest i'm surprised it didn't give me an eating disorder as a teenager. i can see what wilson was trying to do with the descriptions of disordered eating and the use of

Zoe

to illustrate the dangers of eating disorders, but the resolution is a bit simplistic and most of the book could be quite triggering.

this book focuses on the main character's relationship with food, and involves some detailed description of disordered eating. an attempted sexual assault is also described in moderate detail.
