A review by goldenbeebookshop
This Impossible Light by Lily Myers
4.0
I'm a big fan of "Shrinking Women" and was excited when I learned earlier this year that Myers would have a book coming out.
I finally got the chance to read that book today and was once again stunned by the beauty of her careful, precise prose.
Ivy's story is a familiar one, with divorce and the changing dynamics of friendships adding new complications to the habits/issues we learn from our parents.
I appreciate the Myers and her publishers included resources for those who may be experiencing eating disorders and disordered eating behavior. I hope that anyone who reads this and finds Ivy's experience to feel close to home that you're able to focus on the tools she's able to use by the end of the story in order to once again be able to find peace in your body and to know that you are already enough.
