This book's depressing the hell out of me so I'm gonna put it down and never pick it back up again. 
 First of all, let me just say that I'm not very keen on the writing style. The author tries to be poetic but I don't see how it connects to the things. And it's all very descriptive sometimes which may appear realistic but it doesn't really connect to the scene presented either. I also began to notice that the story's not progressing as it should at this point (I'm already halfway). I can't go on with it anymore. The heroine's selfish and insecure and has acquired society's perspective on weight and I don't know if I should empathize with her, pity her or be annoyed with her but right now, I am annoyed with her. She makes food sound bad. She makes herself feel bad for being fat and that's just not the way to live. She looks at people weight-wise and it just infuriates me to the core. It depresses the hell out of me; hence, me giving up on this novel. 
 I don't know why people are calling this book important because it's probably written the way all the other YAs that revolve around Anorexia/Bulimia/etc are written.
