I really enjoyed this. It's very hard to find YA/Teen books with substance. People are so scared to talk and write about real things in a fictional context that they avoid it all together. This tackles some very usual topics - eating disorders for men. What? That's a chick-only thing....isn't it? NOPE! I am so proud that there is this kind of book out there because book diversity isn't only about culture. It also includes soci-economic and gender diversity too. I think this book came out at a great time in the whole #fragilemasculinty thing so the timing was really well done.

Additionally, having worked at a bookstore, it's really hard to find stories geared more towards males. I mean, I think boys can read stories with female leads and be fine, but unfortunately there are just those close-minded adults who have kids and they push that ideal on their kids. So hopefully, if a parent loves their son, a book that discusses something this unusual or arguably stigmatized is something they would encourage them to read. Kudos.

4.25 stars.
