“[Morrison] honestly examines disordered eating resulting from peer and familial pressures in graphic detail, pulling from her own relationships with her mother and body image. A raw and vulnerable exploration of widely relevant and resonant themes.”
“Uplifting, recovery-focused novel that empowers readers to be themselves.”
“A timely and powerful story of immigration, puberty, and healthy food and body habits for tweens. Highly recommended for purchase.”
