This was a lot for me. Being diametrically opposed to “thin girls” (a fat girl) did not keep me from feeling seen in many ways. Twins Rose and Lily have an all consuming toxic relationship. 99% of the people introduced to you in the book are also toxic af. But 99% of them are redeemable. That’s real. Fortitude and coping skills as result of trauma and wavering self image. Next, we unlearn. You love to see it.
4.5 stars!

This is a hard book to rate because it covers the sensitive topic of eating disorders. I have never read a book like this before and Diana Clarke does an excellent job of character development. I felt like I was going through the lives along side Rose and Lily. The cover of this book is misleading and this book is heavy and different. But it is beautifully written and the awareness it brings to the forefront about eating disorders is really important.
