I have some very mixed feeling about is book and I found book hard to review also I think people who like prozac nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel or the weight of zero by Karen Fortunati may like is book. The cover of book was stunning, and I love it. Even though I didn't like the book I did like the writing style, the writing was great also easy follow also the ending was fine.

The atmosphere was pretty good, and the story also delves into heavier topics of prescription drug addiction, eating disorders and childhood trauma and I think author did job writing about these topics. The paced of plot was well structured and steady paced. The characters were okay but they little bit dull and they needed flash out bit more.
