The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting: The Tragedy and The Glory of Growing Up by Evanna Lynch
emotional
informative
medium-paced
5.0
Evanna talks about her story about eating disorder in a very raw manner that made me feel emotions and it made the subject more difficult to listen to. However, I truly think it's an important read about what being anorexic really means and how difficult it is to fight it. I'm glad that Evanna shared her story without glamorizing it but rather showing the harsh reality of dealing with eating disorders.
I highly recommend listening to the book, as it's narrated by Evanna herself and her voice is full of emotions and very soothing to listen to.
