Well, since it is about an eating disorder, it is rough. The language, the background, it can be really triggering. So yeah, be careful.nofy's review against another edition

Okay, aside from the insane number of trigger/content warnings, this book was kinda “meh” for me. It was decently written and the characters were relatable if you’ve been through similar things.
However, I found the plot to be drab. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that this is a simulation of someone’s recovery from an eating disorder. But as a story, it definitely wasn’t for me. I found myself becoming increasingly angry with the representation of teenage girls with anorexia or bulimia. Maybe this is more of a me issue though since it’s only been 3 to 4 years since my struggles. Who knows.
Overall, it’s not something I will be rereading. To be honest, I’m surprised it got a 3-star rating for me but I ran it through the CAWPILE system and that’s what happened!
PS: I did read this book after Tiger which, if you read my review for that, I found to be absolutely exceptional. So, perhaps this is why I was so underwhelmed by the writing here.
