Triggering if you're dealing with an eating disorder, but a pretty good representation of what it can be like

4.5

This book was so heartbreaking, but so powerful in its message. This story follows a young girl struggling with an eating disorder and suicidal thoughts. Stevie was struggling before the death of her brother, the only one who seemed to notice she was struggling, but after an accident that Stevie blames herself for, she feels entirely hopeless. She plans to commit suicide on the anniversary of Josh's death, but she is sent to an eating disorder treatment facility about a month before that date. 
This book was definitely difficult to read because it was very explicit in Stevie's thoughts about herself and life in general. If you are in the right headspace, I think this is a powerful book about grief and hope.
