This was a reread for me and I actually listened to the audiobook. I'm always very torn on this book. There are aspects I really enjoy, some of the stylistic writing elements, some of Leah's inner dialogue, some of the grim realities of eating disorders. And I really enjoy and appreciate those.

But there are also elements that I feel don't work as well. Too much of it feels romanticized, but it also manages to feel like a PSA. And some of the stylistic elements felt too gimmicky. But my biggest problem with this book is that it always feels like it was written with the intent to trigger. I don't think it was, and I love Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, so I'll always give her the benefit of the doubt, but it feels like it was. I just can't get behind it as much as I would like to.
