I love an unreliable narrative!!! I listened to the audiobook, but saw a lot of people talk about hidden things that are in the physical book! So if you listen to the audio, definitely look the book up on reddit!

I listened to this on a whim and am so glad I did! I didn't know anything going into it and the last few hours of it my mouth was just fully agape!

I don't think this was really for me, I always felt like I was just waiting for the climax to happen and it never really came? The author also loves some commas and long sentences.

The book was alright, a quick read! I mostly enjoyed the beginning when it was a focus on the eating disorder because it was relatable for me. The mommy issues is very prevalent and I'm glad she started eating with a better mindset but nothing truly memorable. Nice quick read!

I truly tried so hard to get into this book, so many times I had to switch to audio so I could actually finish it.
