TW: E.D.

If I had a choice I would have DNF'd but I couldn't because it was for a class.

While this book is readable, I would much rather have not read it.

The introduction pulled me in– I was immediately intrigued, then it moved away from the intriguing parts to focus on eating disorders (which at this point I really wanted to put the book down, not because I have any history with E.Ds but because I really would rather not read a book that meanders around vomiting for pages and pages), and then poop (which again, I would just rather not read about for 15+ pages), just to go even further into admitting family secrets that no sane person would ever admit publicly, which just thinking about makes me physically cringe.

After the poop talk, the book never really recovers for me. It's always lingering in the background, and somehow, almost every chapter returns to poop, or at least mentions it. Even parts that did seem interesting to me, were ruined by the strange almost purple prose that gives an air of faux sophistication.
