Stories about eating disorders are hard to tell, and often are done poorly. Hungry Ghosts is not one of those stories. It is beautifully done, touching on very sensitive topics in a realistic yet careful way. It's a difficult read but also very important. I highly recommend it but please look into trigger warnings before going into it. The artwork is lovely and suited the story.
