We're often thought of as petite and thin, but it's unfair and unreasonable to expect well over 500 million women in the world to all be the same size. Bodies change as hormone change and that needs to be accepted.
While I never struggled with an eating disorder or an outright unhealthy relationship with food, I did have thoughts about whether skipping meals would help me "maintain" a certain weight that was really me being underweight. It wasn't healthy, but it meant I was "thin."
I wish I had this graphic novel when I was younger. I wish my friends had it. I think some of us would be a lot better off if we'd known more explicitly that it was okay for our bodies to change and that it's nothing to be ashamed of, even if culture says otherwise. Culture is the one that's wrong here, not us.

Thank you to Hear Our Voices for letting me participate on this Book Tour. All opinions remain my own.
This was an eye opening story of disordered eating, mixed with grief.
I was hard to read about Val and her mum's relationship, which was made uncomfortable over the discussion of food and felt so much empathy for Val going through it alone.
It had hope at the end of it though, which was inspiring.
The art was beautiful. I loved the soft pink and blue palette of it. It complemented the story nicely.
