Before We Were Blue by E.J. Schwartz
4.0
Thank you so much to Netgally for providing an arc for me to review!
I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was a great look into the realities of eating disorders/treatment, complex family relationships, and friendship dynamics. The character arcs didn’t feel predictable, and they were satisfying. I love that growth wasn’t portrayed as linear, and that setbacks, which are inevitable in life, were written in a way that made you feel like you were rising and falling with them, with a solid ending.
Overall I give this book a 3.75 or 4 out of 5 stars.
