I think this is a beautiful snapshot of a childhood friendship. Not only do I know these girls, I’ve been in the mindset of these girls. That is partially why I struggled to read this book. Between my own “knowing what I know now” lens and the journal entry writing style I struggled to connect with our main characters initially. The audiobook allowed me to enjoy both the story and the writing style.
Graphic: Eating disorder and Fatphobia
Moderate: Sexual assault
Minor: Death of parent
