A must-read for anyone who has (or knows someone who has) had anorexia.
The best way I can describe it is that Brooklyn’s book is a safe space. A mental place to set aside your intrusive thoughts for the hour or so it takes to read. Tip-toe into the world of body neutrality and self-acceptance: even if you’re not yet ready to commit to it. You’ll get there. And for those who haven’t themselves had anorexia- this book would be a really nice gift or activity to bond over with somebody (a loved one, etc.) who does know what it’s like to have anorexia.
Brooklyn’s writing is honest yet delicate, and her passion for beginning the conversation about mental health and eating disorders shines through the whole read.
