I AM SOBBING DUDE WTF. saddest book ever. please don’t read if you have/had had an ed, depression, s***h****d, and many more triggers that you should look up. i understand that in a way it is trauma porn, but it also is (in my opinion) a very well told story that i now hold very close to my heart. i love you jude.
