Thanks Netgalley for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for my honest review on the book!

I desired to read this because of my interest in distorted eating. I was so pleased that NetGalley provided an ARC for the purpose of this review. Four stars. It's in depth and full of research and case studies. But it's all presented in an understandable way. I loved that men were included and not just a spotlight on women with anorexia. I think the authors did a fantastic job with this topic.

This was a great workbook for those in recovery. I appreciated the Plate by Plate approach presented in an easy to understand manner.
