Honest portrayal of disordered eating

Really insightful story about disordered eating and recovery. The author did a great job of painstakingly describing how a simple dinner date with her husband could be the source of such anguish for an individual suffering from disordered eating. The authors note also really made me think about how eating disorders are a type of mental illness and not a choice per se. the characters I. This story are so real that I have to believe the author has experienced issues with food or is very close to people who has. The main character in this book is married and the strain that disordered reading can put in a marriage is also realistic. Most stories about anorexia deal with team or college women. This was an interesting take.
