Book was sold to me by being a fun retelling of young love, so I wasn't prepared to hear about eating disorders. I'm in recovery right now and can't really handle that without any warning. Might finish it at some point but probably not since the first hour I've gotten through didn't wow me.

Tbh idk, got vouth up in life and stuff. I don't think it was a good way to kinda get back to resing anyway. The book's a bit too long and too fantasy for my current tastes. Regardless of that I still want to finish it at some point this year (2024).
