reflective sad medium-paced

first off, please be careful with this book, it depicts eating disorders, fatphobia, weight loss, etc. in a very raw and unfiltered way. if you may struggle with any of these topics, i really wouldn’t recommend that you read this. put yourself first!

with that out of the way, this is inherently a very sad book. there are beautiful and mouthwatering descriptions of food, but the authors perceptions of herself and her body are utterly devastating. not every story needs a happy ending (and this one definitely doesn’t have one), but the author describing that she feels a bit better about her body because she’s not “that fat” is really disheartening. this is someone’s life experiences, so it’s hard to review/say that any of them are wrong or bad. but just keep these things in mind before reading.
