Interesting, but missing something...

After reading the blurb I was interested to read this. I don't often read this genre so I don't have much to compare it to, but I felt most of the story was either skipped, or glossed over. It does talk about Anna's toxic thought patterns and her subsequent eating disorder, but I feel the events and details leading up to her life at Swann Street would have added some much needed depth. I often found myself bored and unable to connect with the story because the lack of any real detail or emotion.

My favorite part was probably learning about some of the other girls at Swann Street, and seeing how their stories progressed. While Anna's life story wasn't very detailed or emotional, the parts about the clinic was both heart-breaking and inspiring.
