Wow what an amazing book! Really one of my favorite books I’ve read about eating disorders. I loved the character development not just from the main character but also nearly everyone else around her. I’ve never been to eating disorder inpatient recovery but from what I’ve seen and heard, the books descriptions seem pretty accurate. There were some parts that I knew for a fact was inaccurate. For example the protagonist was talking about her biggest binges saying it was day of eating 1000 calories. Many people with anorexia so count that as a binge but a big normal binge for an anorexic is thousands upon thousands of calories. And it’s not talked about a lot, these massive binges followed by regret and heavy restriction, so not adding it to the book and instead fueling the idea that anorexics never ever eat over a certain amount of calories is false and misleading. But other than that and maybe one or two other things I’d say this was extremely accurate. I loved the back and forth between the protagonists then and now; before and during anorexia. I will say that the authors writing style was kind of hard to follow in the beginning. I originally wasn’t going to say anything because different people have different styles but I did get frequently confused to the point where it was hard to enjoy the book. For example, there are no quotations for speaking, only italics which wouldn’t be a problem except flashbacks and thoughts are also in italics, making it hard to determine if what you’re reading is a thought or something someone said or some ty I guess that happened years ago in the story. I had to go back a few paragraphs frequently to find out what was happening. Eventually though I got the hang of how the writing style worked and was fine, but wow the beginning was tough to read!
