I don’t entirely know what to honk of this book, but I know I’d definitely want to read it again. It was strange, the way the narrator spoke and thought, how some things like sex related to her eating disorder and how graphically described the two things were together. It was pretty weird the main characters thoughts, but the relationships in the book were beautiful. I found myself relating to Rachel when she talked about her mother and her eating habits, not as severely but it felt comforting. I also loved loved loved the diversity, and although it was main points of the book, it wasn’t done in a hurtful, stereotypical way. I liked it.
