The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

“Morrison provides a delicate depiction of the disordered eating habits Yasmin develops as a coping mechanism . . . Yasmin’s internal dialogue reflects the tumult of a vicious cycle that has Yasmin hoping for acceptance from others and then being met with a rejection that only makes her more desperate . . . The ending prioritizes Yasmin’s health and happiness, as hard conversations and a friend’s bravery allow what truly matters about Yasmin, who she is within, to shine on the outside.”
