it's difficult to rate such a short book that talks about her own experience. in my version of the e-book there was a (ugly) red section breaker (idk how you call it), that was probably the only negative thing
fav quotes:
I had, or have, a chip on my shoulder, the kind that leads me to believe that anyone living in a thin body is necessarily living a perfect life. (13)
(...) and I was supposed to be grateful to be there, but I wasn't. I was too broken to appreciate anything about my life. (14)
We are walking wounds, but I am not sure any of us know quite how to talk about it. (17)
