i finished this book & immediately started reading it again - this book made me feel crazy!! I’ve never felt so seen reading a book. Evanna went right into my head, stole some of my most shameful thoughts, & put them in this damn book. 

love that the trigger warnings are in the beginning of the book -  do NOT take those warnings lightly.

Pfff... this was a tough one to read yet so beautifully written.

I've loved Evy since I first saw her on the big screen. She was the perfect Luna to me. And then I loved her even more when I started following her podcast and all she does to fight for animal rights. I've been lucky enough to meet her briefly and my heart, she's just so sweet ❤

A friend from my old dramaschool passed away last year, lost her fight with anorexia. So in a way this hit home hard and I recognised some things Evy spoke about.

I wish for everyone who reads this, to treat each other but above all as well: treat yourself with kindness.

Thank you Evy for all you do ❤
