More of a 3.5. I think this was a really accurate representation of what can go on in someone's head when they're struggling with an eating disorder. Through the writing, you can clearly tell that Lia wanted to eat food, but she just couldn't because she was so deep into the disorder. I feel like her dad didn't pay enough attention to the problem, but her mom was so overbearing about it that neither one of them were doing anything to help. I enjoyed this, but there were some moments that were pretty slow.
