this is the third time i've read this book (two if you don't count audiobooks) and i don't even know how to go about writing a review because i just love this book so much that i can't express any of my feelings about it in any way other than just asking you to read the book yourself. here are some of my favourite quotes from the book in hopes that you'll pick it up too;
"I need to get back to anorexia. I need to be a kid again."
"..this is the first birthday wish I'll be making where I won't know what to wish for because the thing I've been wishing for all my life is done. Over. case closed. The thing that I secretly hoped through all these years I had some control over, I know now that I don't, and never did. My entire life's purpose, keeping Mom alive and happy, was for nothing. All those years I spent focusing on her, all the time I spent orienting my every thought and action toward what I thought would please her most, were pointless. Because now she's gone."
"Her dreams were my dreams, her happiness was my happiness."
"Slips are totally normal. When you have a slip, it's just that. A slip. It doesn't define you. It doesn't make you a failure. The most important thing is that you don't let a slip become a slide."

I listened to Jeanette in her audiobook and it was equal parts cathartic and heart breaking. This book is fascinating and raw and I am so grateful to her for writing it. Hearing her perspective shift throughout her life and see her gain strength and understanding was beautiful and inspiring and painful.
