Monkey taming by Judith May Fathallah

4.0

In general, this book was great. I was recommended it by a friend and it was a great read and really shone a light on the realities of mental illness. The idea of Jess' anorexia being described as a 'monkey' is a very good way of putting it. I would have rated it five stars, but at times I found the book to be a bit rushed. The main character would go from multiple pages of description about her mental illness to a crucial plot point being described in around a page. However, this book is a great read and I would highly recommend.
