i thought the book was pretty good. definitely not what i expected. i liked how it it represented the lgbtq but also boys with eating disorders. overall pretty good book but a pretty dark topic for teenagers.

slow start but excellent finish; had me worried for a bit there that there was going to be some weird subtextual message about self-harm giving you super powers but that was resolved nicely. address some very important topics obviously personal to the author.
