Wow.
A truly severe look at what being raised by a narcissist can do to you. Though it was sometimes detailed to a disturbing degree, I think it was necessary to fully comprehend the horrors of eating disorders on the psyche and the physical body. It feels wrong to say, “I loved this book.” I didn’t. It was heartbreaking. But it left a massive impact and I know I’ll never be able to watch iCarly again.
