Absolutely important and amazing!

I'm at a loss for words. The Girls at 17 Swann Street left me speechless. What I can muster up is this. This novel is a solid 5 for me. The author Yara Zgheib didn't try to make anorexia something it is not. This disease is real and rarely ever just goes away with time. It needs hard work. The chance of relapse is high. This book is filled with tons of other hard, cold facts amongst these. Maybe I'll be able to get something clearer out of my head closer to the release. But holy sh*t. This review doesn't give this novel justice. It's so real and to anyone who's ever dealt with an eating disorder, or loved someone who has suffered from such, it can be very triggering. TW. This story blew me away and made me cry. 5/5
