The book was very emotional and it didn’t feel very cliche despite the chance it had to be because the main focus was a girls struggle with anorexia. It can be triggering for readers experiencing the same thing but I think anyone can learn from it. It helps people not living with it understand those who are and I think what the main character was feeling was accurate for most teenagers even if they didn’t have the same problem.
