I wasn’t expecting this book to have such depth and to wield it well in its narrative. It took me through the emotions of watching someone you love battle with an eating disorder and how easy it could be to succumb to one yourself. But it wasn’t depressing. There’s lovable sisterhood, middle school drama, and the relatable awkwardness of growing up. I think this is perfect for middle school readers or anyone really.
