Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes
3.0
Elements were entertaining and enjoyable. It's well-written.
However, the way she talked about being fat and losing weight were incredibly triggering as someone in recovery from ED. I almost stopped reading. It was framed as "I'm all for body positivity, this is just my experience," but the things she was saying about her body were clearly fatphobic societal messages that weren't purely from her own brain. And repeating them over and over was genuinely painful to read.
