Y'all....this book was not at all what I was expecting. I went in thinking it was a romance, and while there are elements of a romance in this one, I think that really mischaracterizes this book. The story revolves around Ginny, a young woman who moves in with her three college guy friends. She's also recovering from anorexia and has a complicated relationship with one of her roommates, Finch. She meets Adrian and falls for him, but he doesn't believe in love at all, due to the death of his father on the day Adrian was born. Honestly, I almost gave up reading this- it delves deep into eating disorders, especially bulimia, and does not shy away from depicting it, sometimes graphically. It also deals with the death of a parent and the ramifications of not really dealing with it. I almost put this book down several times as it was really hard to read, but I stuck with it. I'm so glad I did. This is a book that I can't say I enjoyed but will stay with me for a very long time. I highly recommend it.
