"My version of being good is being good to myself."
Tears flowing down my face, I screenshotted this page in the book because I felt seen and Val's relationship with her mother felt redemptive even if it's not perfect.
Victoria Ying, I am a fan. Thank you for writing and illustrating such an important story and featuring an eating disorder from an Asian American perspective. I loved this so much, thank you. Would recommend to every female and Asian American but please read trigger warnings beforehand!
