I struggled to get into this bc of the heavy ED and fatphobia, but after the first 80 or so pages the ED talk became more manageable. I really enjoyed the sex scenes (although the mommy issues jumped out; Freud never loses), and I liked to see Rachel’s growth throughout the story. It was good rep for chaotic bisexuals in their early 20s. My main critique is that Rachel reconnecting with her mother/their new normal should have been addressed more directly
