Firstly, thank you to NetGalley and the author for allowing me a copy of this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Trigger Warning: Eating Disorders

I will not be giving an official star rating as this is someone’s real life story and trauma, which I don’t believe should be rated. Rachel has been through a lot, she is incredibly brave and strong. Nancy and Rachel wrote this beautifully, and this story is very important - maybe not for people struggling with eating disorders in the exact moment, but for someone to know they aren’t

For the purpose of needing to submit a star review on the website, it will be 5 stars.

"Light" is a powerful and emotional memoir about a mother-daughter duo's struggle with anorexia. Nancy Levine's writing is honest and vivid, weaving together Rachel's journal entries and her own narrative. The book chronicles Rachel's journey from illness to recovery, highlighting the challenges faced by both Rachel and her family. With candor and vulnerability, Nancy shares her feelings of powerlessness and desperation. This memoir is a testament to the enduring bond between a mother and daughter and offers a message of hope and resilience. A compelling and thought-provoking read that sheds light on a difficult topic.
