I didn't realize how inherently fucked up this book would be? but also i found it very moving and therapeutic in other ways. There is an exploration of mommy issues that was reasonable but the degree it essentially intertwined mommy issues to sexuality was a bit too much.

 But i do believe there is some fantastic ED portrayal, fantastic character writing, and it's incredibly honest. I respect the hell out of the main character's journey to self-acceptance and health and peace. 

Not for reading if you aren't up for some of the most graphic sex scenes I've seen outside of fantasy!
