DNF one-third in.

Honestly, I understand the need to bring in anorexia and bulimia in literature and that was not my issue with the book. My issue was with the writing that really didn't resonate with me and I tried to push through as I don't like to DNF books but...

Ginny felt more like a cry-baby than a protagonist. Like seriously, in the 100 pages I read of this book, i felt like she spent 99.5% of her time complaining about something and sure, she has mentally illness but i was just fighting falling asleep while reading...

Also, what is the point of a 4-sentence chapter ? It doesn't give any details as to what the character is feeling. I felt like I was trying to read someone notes to help them write an actual chapter but the author ran out of time and was like “fuck it, I'll rewrite my little blurb and call it a day”.

If you enjoyed this book, I'm really happy for you, but it wasn't my cup of tea.
