I tried! But I just couldn’t get into it. I don’t know if its just too poetic for me (a little over the top in my opinion) or if I just shouldn’t be reading a book on this subject (anorexia) at this time, but it’s Not For Me, at least not right now. Giving up!

A little too much for me right now; might come back to it

I got this as an audio arc on Netgalley and it has since come out. This was breathtakingly well written and narrated. The way it weaves a story about an eating disorder with the Palestinian roots the writer has, as well as generational trauma, queerness and disability. It moves flawlessly between those things and how they connect. An absolutely important read.

A love letter to the spirit of resistance, to Palestinians. An ode to inter generational trauma. A story told poetically and emotionally.
