Milk Fed had me on the edge of my seat. A gripping tale of food, sex, and the challenging relationship we can have with both. 

I loved to see the growth Rachel experienced regarding her eating disorder and the blossoming relationship she formed. 

While the ending is logical and makes complete sense, I was disappointed that
Miriam and Rachel didn't work out. But being an orthodox jew, her parents where never going to be supportive of their relationship.
 

I felt it was incredibly timely for the characters to have an argument over Palestine and Israel. 

I wanted so badly for Milk Fed to be a 5 star Read, but the ending really left something to be desired for me. It's ineffable.
