Reading this book, there were some similarities between my ED (diagnosed at 11, discharged at 18) and Evanna’s but I’m also thankful that reading this book gave me an open mind that it could have got worse for me, thankfully I was never admitted into hospital or a clinic, due it scaring me and I didn’t want to be away from my parents. 

It can be really triggering to read a book about anorexia as someone who suffered from the disease. There were definitely moments when I had to just stop because it became all too real. 

She’s right that recovery takes a while- those with ED’s never fully recover.
I almost relapsed a couple of years ago due to being in a toxic work environment. 

However, I have read a few books covering this topic and have never read one that is so real and so stark in contrast. This book was so real. Too real, but it needed to be written to show just how difficult it is to have an eating disorder. 

3/5 stars
I’m going to be thinking about this book for a while.
