TW: disordered eating, cancer diagnosis
No book has ever made me feel like this. Almost a week later, I'm still worried about Jayne and June, and I really hope they are ok. I probably wouldn't have felt so strongly if I hadn't read it in 5 days, but I couldn't stop myself.
Excellent writing, excellent characters. Mary H. K. Choi needs to stop leaving her characters on a precipice of doing "ok" because I will worry about them falling back into their old ways.
