I was excited going into this cause I thought it was a pretty interesting premise, but I found it very disappointing. It feels like it’s building towards a theme or message, but the experiences of the main character are never meaningfully dissected, or reflected upon. The ending is especially bad, but overall, it’s just messy.
Graphic: Eating disorder, Emotional abuse, Physical abuse, Racism, and Classism
