But mirrors are the worst. One reflection lifts your spirits and another crushes them. A good one can make you feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. But a bad one can make you burst into tears. I think the main goal of the main character, Elizabeth, was to beat her anorexia. Which sounds like the book might have had a point, but to me, it felt like it was going nowhere. Every chapter was a repetition of the previous one. Nothing happened, every character sounded the same and there were not distinct voices and a lot of things were left unanswered at the end of the book. Elizabeth constantly claims to be a feminist, but mentions like "The hurt in his voice surprised me. Wasn't he supposed to be happy just having sex?" irked me. I just had zero motivation to pick this book up but I appreciate it that the author tackled the topic of eating disorders in a YA book.
