Hornbacher’s writing style absolutely made me love this book. She blends information about EDs, her memories and literary references beautifully. It has strong dark academia vibes. I took my time reading it so I could luxuriate in the experience. I immediately picked up Madness, her other memoir. The only reason this isn’t a five star is the incredibly dark topic.
Graphic: Body shaming, Drug abuse, Eating disorder, Fatphobia, Suicidal thoughts, and Vomit
