Every time I read Alderton’s work my body image gets worse. Really weird sections of the book dedicated to pro disordered eating content. Felt totally cheap and having read her memoir would have expected more. Made me feel very gen z - hating - millennial which is unlike me even though I do hang out with older people for clout. 

The story didn’t seem new or with a new spin. But got through it quickly. Will hope for disorderesque trigger warnings on her works in the future.
