Nothing Tastes as Good by Claire Hennessy
5.0
This book is literally stunning- a stand out dialogue of Irish mental health, the education system and coming of age. The very existence of 'Annabel''s narrative makes us question if she is the 'ana' of 'pro-ana' blog posts or if she is the innocent child she should have been.
I do wish the book had acknowledged the difficulty of recovering from an eating disorder mind set, because even slight tendencies related to a phobia of food or body image can take time and effort to shift.
But, ending aside, I have to give this book 5 stars because of the detailed development of vulnerable and genuine characters, especially female characters.
