The character's recovery comes about way too quickly, but she gets a happy ending, which I liked. I wish the author would've either leaned into magical realism or left it out entirely. It would've been great if Antieau had committed one way or the other rather than leaving it up to interpretation. That aside, I did enjoy the book. It was a fast read with a happy ending. Hard to complain about that!
Graphic: Eating disorder and Self harm
Moderate: Alcoholism, Rape, and Vomit
