I really enjoyed this and definitely related to some of these things. It’s a very fast read because it’s written numbers which I didn’t know going in. I do wish it was a little more fleshed out but it was still really good.

This felt more like a short story than a novel. It's only about 150 pages and written in verse, so you can read the whole thing in less than 30 minutes. The formatting was a little weird too, with random words being italicized and random indents in most of the stanzas, but I don't know if that's just a problem with the ebook version.. Nevertheless, I liked it. I've read a lot of books about eating disorders but never one with a fat protagonist. I liked the sister/girl power
and them standing up for themselves at the end
. I don't regret reading it.
