this book was the wisest but also the silliest thing i've ever read.
the quotes and reflections? chef's kiss. the eating disorder representation? amazing. the weird supernatural ability stuff? so. weird. it was so irritating.
this book says some of the wisest lines that i've ever heard, and in the next paragraph the protagonist is controlling pigs and seeing the future. what is this??
i constantly switched between adoring this book and wanting to dnf it because of just how silly it was. this book combined one of the most real topics ever (eating disorders and depression) with the most fantastical supernatural garbage there is and it threw me off because it wasn't done quite well enough.
i could've loved this book, but the story was simply... something else and i couldn't handle it. but maybe someone else can.
