How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff
2.0
2/5 stars.
this kinda sucked lol. like, i seriously just read a whole book about an anorexic girl in love w her cousin in the middle of a war. i can’t believe this story exists bc it is so ridiculous and disgusting and just awful.
the only reason it’s not a complete 0 or 1 star rating for me is because i did enjoy daisy’s voice, and i found how the author wrote war and survival was very well done.
but the fact that we have INCEST, on and off romanticization of ANOREXIA, and just such a ridiculous story w telepathy (or whatever you would call it) blows my mind bc it was not a good combination whatsoever. i don’t even know why the love story part of this was allowed to be published lol.
