Spoiler
Every girl in the book is valued only for their looks and they're also written to act accordingly. I didn't find any moment when there would be interesting dialogue with the women in the book. Yet every time some male character meets a new girl she is described as "beautiful" or "pretty". Also the way Mary's eating disorder is handled in a book aimed at teenagers is very cringeworthy and possibly harmful. She is described as "model thin" and how "weight loss made her look good".Graphic: Death, Eating disorder, Fire/Fire injury, Hate crime, Medical content, Medical trauma, Animal cruelty, Animal death, Blood, Child abuse, Confinement, Violence, Gun violence, Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, Torture, Ableism, Addiction, Alcohol, Alcoholism, Bullying, Child death, Cursing, Emotional abuse, Fatphobia, Gaslighting, Injury/Injury detail, Mental illness, and Physical abuse
Moderate: Sexism, Toxic friendship, Toxic relationship, and Body shaming

Does the sound of staving little kids and young teenagers sound nice or perhaps a little girl (8) who have an Ed so starves herself (more than what is already happening (aka starvation) ) and eventually faints and then is tied down and forced to eat
