What I loved: 90s nostalgia but with more feminism and queerness and realness re: eating disorders.
What I didn’t: I found the ED stuff harder to read than I would have expected and overall felt like maybe this book was trying to do too much which just didn’t really land for me.
So…5 stars for what it was trying to do but like…2.5 stars for my actual experience of it and how I never really relaxed into it or had the fun time I was anticipating reliving the babysitters club and other old favourites
