I won't lie, I almost hated this book to start. It took me a while to like it but by the end I enjoyed it a lot. Fuck camp Jupiter though.

I bought this book in high-school but never read it. I knew it focused on eating disorders but wow was this intense, in the best way. It's incredibly written, and doesn't shy away from the true horrors of eating disorders.

Mary downing Hahn was one of my favorite scary book authors as a kid and I still feel that way. This is probably my second favorite of hers.
