★★★★★★★
This book, I really liked... The theme of anorexia, to the best of my knowledge, was portrayed accurately. Especially the overall message that you need a reason to recover, you can't just take medicine and go to therapy, you have to want to get better. This was deep, true, and I loved the story. The message was great, theme portrayal was great, the character building was great as well. There was a wide variety of character who were each clearly distinguishable, as well as the fact that the story was very immersive. I was able to feel connected to the different characters, dislike some based off very little other than the M.C.s feelings, that was exceptionally done.
I liked the originality of this story as well, there were a good amount of different problems which all made sense to the plot and helped to build this into a realistic and unique book. Overall, one of the better books I've read!
The only complaint I have was in the first half or so of the book, as well as in the synopsis, I didn't have a clear idea of what the plot was. At the end looking back it was clearer, but from the beginning, I was just kind of thinking, "Okay... So she's anorexic, not particularly life threating as of now... Friend died, she's upset, understandable... Where exactly is this going? What's she got to lose?"
