so-soAn interesting perspective from a quirky paranoid and neurodivergent character, but I didn't like the pacing. It felt like nothing was happening for much of the book and then suddenly there are loads of revelations.

pickWhat is louder than hunger? The voice in his head telling him he is a loser who shouldn‘t eat, doesn‘t deserve to eat. This portrait of a young boy suffering from anorexia and those determined to help him is inspiring. The voice feels genuine and telling the story in verse was genius.
Encouraging words for anyone dealing with darkness.

Ok I know I relate based on the title and the description. I had to look her up. 🤷🏻♀️
Went to see Matt Haig talk last night and he was very engaging and funny. He talked a lot about his most recent book, his writing process, dogs, recovery and mental health. A really enjoyable night.
so-soI was never really a Britney fan - I was already in my 30s when she burst on to the music scene, and hence not her demographic! But you couldn‘t not notice her and her subsequent troubles, so I was interested in what she had to say. The first half is interesting, at times sad, at times rightly calling out an industry that treats women very differently to how it treats men. The second half is less engaging - because she finds it difficult to talk⬇️
