Another great read at the start of the year!

The title portrays it as a book about a mentally ill woman who turned vegetarian, but it is so, so much more.

From discussing different ways someone can handle abuse to what it means to be a good mother, this book really makes you realize how different each person is and how differently we operate.

The blurb definitely doesn’t do it justice.

This book managed to disturb me with the dog scene; beware that there is animal abuse in it. 

A 5 star read! It is a hard book to recommend to someone, but a definite must read!
