This was a painful read for me in a different way from Crooked Saints. It was like The Art of Starving. I could really identify with the thoughts going through this young gal's head.
The problem that I had with it was that it wrapped up so quickly, like when Dorothy had CFS. But maybe that does happen for some people with eating disorders and we don't know what happened, but it did seem like she made a lot of headway in a little time. Which is great for her! But I just wonder how realistic? I am not sure, but it feels a little fast. Jason Reyond's books often leave things really out there...MAJOR cliffhangers. And that is something I LOVE and LOATHE! And also what makes them so great. I am not saying that the book had to get all Reyonldsy with the ending, but a little more time? A little more uncertainty? I don't know. But I could recommend it. Just not a Printz for me. Lily Myers has a big following and experience with the issue, so maybe I am completely wrong about it needing to take more time?
