Chronicling an extremely toxic relationship between two unlikeable characters. It’s told from first person so we see our unnamed main character’s internal dialogue in her struggles with self worth, addiction, an eating disorder and self harm. While difficult to read, I felt the book seemed authentic and I think it found the delicate balance between being raw and emotional without being trauma porn-y.

At times I hated her, at times I knew exactly why she was doing the things she did.
