“[Morrison] honestly examines disordered eating resulting from peer and familial pressures in graphic detail, pulling from her own relationships with her mother and body image. She also thoughtfully develops Yasmin’s and Carmen’s backgrounds, cultivating an understanding of each girl’s immigration experiences. A raw and vulnerable exploration of widely relevant and resonant themes.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“A successful intervention helps Yasmin break more than one unhealthy cycle and begin loving herself for exactly who she is.” ―Booklist
