I would have liked to finish it within the time I received it in the mail, but after reading chapter 1, I was upset with how the chapter made me feel at the end- which is good! It immediately assigned me an emotion which is what a writer wants to ultimately achieve.
After taking a break for a few months, I decided to get back into it and reread chapter 1 to see why it upset me so much.
Not being able to relate to calorie counting or having anyone close to me deal with an eating disorder, I wasn’t sure if I could dive deep into the meaningful story- boy was I wrong!
Around chapter 4/5 is when I got extremely invested in the story and couldn’t put it down. My favourite part of the story is when Jennifer gets admitted into a treatment facility. Just hearing about the experience she has and how the facility is run, was interesting to me. When a tragic moment happens towards the end, I burst out “I KNEW IT!” It was definitely an upsetting time, but I really enjoyed reading the twist.
Overall, I really enjoyed the story and the new insight it gave me into a world I knew little to nothing about. It was told beautifully- great job!
