Honestly I think the book isn’t bad but I just personally didn’t like it. I agree with some of her opinions (Some!!) but I just sadly couldn’t sympathise with her at all. She repeated herself a lot which I did not like to this extent. The only chapter/ essay that I truly loved was ‘K-Spa’.
I longed for a pointe at the end and I think I kindaaa got it. I liked her on the last few pages better because it showed kinda why she wanted to write the book and like the moral of the story but I’m not really fulfilled. I don’t like how ‘not eating-being thin and tiny- smoking cigarettes to stay thin and everything” was just simply put like this in the book without a disclaimer or a “this is not healthy” or sth but maybe that’s the gen z in me talking. I know that the model world is/can be like this but I just wish that she would’ve said sth in the end about it somehow. She is not a role model for me. I also found that I don’t sympathies with her which makes me not like her. 
Also I don’t like her mother.
