When I started this book, I didn’t think I was going to finish. It was cringey, straight from pro-ana Tumblr. But I stuck with it and I’m glad I did. Stevie really drew me in. She is such a complex character and you can really feel her pain and her growth. Anna is also portrayed so, so well; she’s a great representation of what a good therapeutic relationship can be. The book ends on a hopeful note, but I would still not recommend this book to anyone currently struggling with an eating disorder or not very solidly in recovery. Very strong trigger warnings for eating disorders and suicide.
