Wow. Very difficult to read as far as subject matter and pace, but the storytelling was fantastic. Be gentle with yourself during this read if you've had any ED experiences.

even coming from a place of recovery this is a very distressing read at times. it's hard to criticize someone's real life and what they chose to include in a memoir so i'll just say this: hayley, if you're reading this, you made something beautiful.
