I wasn't sure what to expect when I requested this eARC. The premise sounded interesting and the topic- eating disorders - caught my eye. This is not the typical genre of book that I read. If possible, I would rate this 3.5 stars.

I have mixed feelings about the book. While the topic is important and the author did a good job of explainng anorexia and the side effects - from the individual to the family - I wasn't that crazy about the writing style. Several times, I found the transitions between past and present, muddy and unlcear. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had been written in a diary format. With that said, the overall story was interesting and the trials faced by the main character trying to overcome and get a grip on her disease, felt very real and believable.

I think because of the subject matter, this would make a great book club book that would inspire a heartfelt discussion about eating disorders.

Thank you #netgalley and #stmartinspress for the eARC. This is my honest review.
