The dialogue is great, love the main character's voice. As someone struggling with an ED, i also thought the main character's experiences with disordered eating felt really genuine. Darkly amusing, but not so triggering that I thought I had to stop reading. I gave it four stars because some of the sex descriptions were cringe and over-the-top, and the main character is way too horny sometimes.
