Thin Girls by Diana Clarke

4.0

At first, this was just another "oh, girl with ED in a facility, also she's dealing with her sexuality" book. And then, suddenly, it wasn't. It was supposed to feel familiar because it's the reality of being a woman--we either have experienced disordered eating or know a half dozen other women who have. The character development in this book was incredible, and I so appreciate a story where there isn't a single bad, evil, petty, or flat woman to be found. The writing itself was beautiful, too.
