This was some messed-up shite. That's mostly what I remember.
The one aspect that got me excited at first was that I thought Ana was smart and making her skin mottled and eating too much and not washing her hair as self-preservation. I thought she was smart. Nope. She was only doing those things to make her mom like her. Like, Ana legitimately believes that her mom loves her, but that she needs to make herself ugly to receive her mother's love. Ugh.
A really odd and slightly pathetic retelling of Snow White.
