sometimes its hard for me to get into books when the main character isn’t immediately relatable. milk fed is about rachel, a girl whose whole life has been surrounded around her body and weight. rachel has an obsessive eating disorder that at times was difficult to read, but her journey to find herself, re-find her Jewish faith, become more comfortable with her sexuality, and put up healthy boundaries between herself and her mother was beautiful. although it was tough to get into at first, i sped through the last 3/4 of the book and really enjoyed it! this book has spice, insightfulness, and humor, what more could you ask for?
