I bawled. If you’re looking for a thoughtful exploration of disordered eating (WISH I HAD THIS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER) and the impact it has on relationships, this is absolutely the one. We explore platonic and familial relationship dynamics and how the way we view ourselves impacts the way we view the world. Above all, it’s a book that doesn’t shy away from tough topics. Watching our main character, Valerie, work up the courage to leave behind a toxic relationship with her mother (and a toxic way of thinking WITH that relationship) is uplifting and encouraging.
