SO SO SO SO GOOD!!

I finished this in one night - about 1.5 hours.

Jake is a character I loved through and through. He needed to be protected, always! I am so happy that no one every gave up on him and he was able to get the support that he needed.

Jake is in middle school and he developed an eating disorder. While he is aware of this, he finds it difficult to ask for help or overcome the voice in his head. This book written in verse follows Jake as he enters a facility to try to help him heal.

This book was so well done. I loved it so much and I felt all the emotions. I really couldn't help but root for Jake, but his hesitancy was so real and valid. I loved that this book explored options and needing to start over and try again. Jake needed to find a way to get better for himself and take up the space he deserved.

Ugh LOVED it. If I could give it a million stars - I would!
