Suffice to say that I dnfed this book nearly a couple of times. The toxicity of the relationships that is defined by the adults is appalling. Combined with the underlying representation of eating disorders that can be triggering, I would not consider this book to be a healthy read.

Most of the mental illness/eating disorder content comes from Katharine’s content. Although self harm and eating disorders are never explicitly addressed, Katharine frequently eats things that are toxic and ends up in pain and has many scars from other poisons.kguled_7's review against another edition

SPOILER (kinda)
I'm not sure what I thought the pace of the book would be when I bought it. I think in my mind I figured the year they would spend trying to kill their sisters would take place in this book (it doesn't, it's the next book I think). I can't wait to get the second book (maybe 3rd and 4th too)!!
