This was a good book. I wonder if I would have rated it higher had I known or watched iCarly. For me, this mostly just felt like trauma porn. There was a lot of exposition of pain, and I am so happy that McCurdy seems to be on the other side of it—however there was little exploration of coming around on the other side. I guess there's some message that there is no “coming around the other side” with eating disorders, but that doesn't feel intentionally done.
