funny sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

My god this was one of the best laughs I have ever had, truly this book ages poorly lol. However, I was expecting nothing other than that. As someone who relates to the ED struggle I have never cringed more at its portrayal which would be welcomed if I thought for a second that that was the  intent.
