Welcome to Litsy!

This audible daily deal was fine. I enjoyed Brittany Pressley‘s narration, but the same plots points were just rehashed too often. STRONG CW for bulimia and alcohol abuse.

Ava is a wellness Instagram influencer. Her brand is built on getting over bulimia and sharing healthy meal ideas, but her illness is still quite active. One night she hits rock bottom and applies to a retreat in Martha‘s Vineyard, but someone is threatening to out her secret.

TW I almost quit this book because earring disorders aren‘t my thing. But I kept reading for two reasons: there was just enough mystery to keep me interested (re: social media troll) and because the main character did a bunch of therapy to learn what her triggers were & what memories planted the seeds that led to her disease. I hope I can use this info to not pass body/food insecurities on to my daughter.

Started this today and I'm pleasantly surprised. I love this narrator and I like stories about real social issues. Also, it's part thriller with mystery and intrigue to boot! Looking forward to figuring it out!
