It was distressing to me and I'm fortunate enough to have not experienced any of it. It was certainly raw. I also liked the metaphor of the alien. I read another book with anorexia being a theme and a similar characterisation was made so it made me wonder if that's a common thing. Anyway, great review!brooklynsippingacupofteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541603951425011326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-10720451385728309292017-04-27T18:54:12.853+01:002017-04-27T18:54:12.853+01:00My Goodreads is private for a variety of reasons -...My Goodreads is private for a variety of reasons - the main one being it's linked to my private Facebook.

The books covers indeed MANY topics but I'm very interested in at least 90% of them and since the characters are so real I'm going to have to read it now!

This really explores the struggles of falling in love when you have these problems - and that expecting the other person to save you isn't really healthy! :)Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-21169709713962159072017-04-26T14:42:38.814+01:002017-04-26T14:42:38.814+01:00I have only read a few books which include anorexi...I have only read a few books which include anorexia in them, and usually they aren't the focus in the novels that I read (although as they are a pressing issue, they feature a lot in the books.) It would be different to read one where it is the center of the story. I also like the sound of the love-cures-all issue being overruled because that bothers me so much in books because it is so wrong!

It doesn't skim over the harshness of reality just because it's YA, y'know?

I've read very heavy books with a lot of heavy topics like these before, but they've been more on the YA realm so I feel as if they're less heavy in a way. This might be a bit too upsetting for me but great review nonetheless!paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.com
