i loved this book - clearly as i read it in one day. i related to rachel a lot and found it comforting to have a similar experience written out in front of me. however i think people in ed recovery should be wary of reading this, as although it could be helpful in some cases it can also be very triggering. especially the first half of the book. however i think melissa  broder did not intend for it to be triggering and i applaud her amazing writing.

really good for someone who likes mean lesbians and insufferable women this book is broken people being broken people and is not happy but it’s good and the ending isn’t what you want or expected but worth it

Would not recommend to someone who had/has an eating disorder. Binge eating and calorie counting is a recurring theme and is described in detail.

I don’t entirely know what to honk of this book, but I know I’d definitely want to read it again. It was strange, the way the narrator spoke and thought, how some things like sex related to her eating disorder and how graphically described the two things were together. It was pretty weird the main characters thoughts, but the relationships in the book were beautiful. I found myself relating to Rachel when she talked about her mother and her eating habits, not as severely but it felt comforting. I also loved loved loved the diversity, and although it was main points of the book, it wasn’t done in a hurtful, stereotypical way. I liked it.
