A harrowing journey through eating disorders and sexual assault. I only rated it lower because the first part didn’t really captivate me.

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad tense fast-paced

A really moving read about eating disorders, trauma, and nonlinear healing. I especially loved the way Green used the visuals to convey what was going on inside her mind during the different stages of her disordered eating—something we folks who don’t deal with such things aren’t privy to normally. It’s definitely a challenging read at times but extremely vulnerable and worth reading.
