Her father is away for days or weeks with his work and Madi hasn\u2019t got a very good relationship with her mother.

It is apparent that the author has carried out detailed research, and presents some of the characteristics and elements of the condition very well. Personally, I would feel happier if some kind of warning was included at the beginning of the novel about the content. For someone who has experienced an eating disorder, I'm sure some portions of the novel could be very difficult to read, and there's a piece that also describes self-harm, which should be highlighted at the beginning."}, {"text_idx": "#000029", "text": "In addition, I feel that some of the cultural references and some of the language of the novel do not suit a young teenage girl.
