My first five star review since 2021!  This was a heavy and dark memoir, written by Kiese for his mother. 
I kept waiting to hear how he had moved forward and recovered from anorexia and binge eating and gambling, only for the dark ending to leave his future open. 
I wish him all the best in the future. I’m glad to read this, it taught me so much about racism, poverty and weight.
