I am so grateful to have finally read a book about eating disorders that is so hopeful. I have definitely taken away a lot from this book. An expanse of tips and ideas were raised in terms of promoting recovery, and this felt so empowering. Refreshing to read a book about the said subject, where the author actually has lived experience and isn’t just making assumptions. Thank you!!!
