I Love You So Much It's Killing Us Both by Mariah Stovall

I might pick this up again in the future because it is an interesting idea. But I just can’t mentally handle the eating disorder, it’s just too all-encompassing and too triggering. There’s not enough of the story I’m invested in that helps make this book feel like less of a chore to pick up because I have I steel myself for the calorie counting or the body issues on every page. I’m excited to see what the future holds for this author
