First, I'm going to add the Trigger Warnings here before my review.
Eating disorder and grief are what the plot is about. So please take care before picking this one up.
PROS:
◇The Art
◇The friendships
◇Val (main character)

CONS:
◇Wish that the character(s) got professional help. With things as big as the death of a loved one and an eating disorder (for most of one's life), professional assistance is much needed. Even if it was just for a very short time. I do understand that isn't the case for all in real life, but it could have been helpful for readers who might be going through something similar.

Overall, I'm glad I picked it up from my public library.
