I love this book. I love it, I love it, I love it. Sam J. Miller is a genius with words. It has a realistic portrayal of someone with an eating disorder, it highlights males issues, and a teenager hungry for validation. I will never not love Sam Miller's books. 5/5 stars. (

teen fiction - anorexic and somewhat suicidal gay male teen deals with the mysterious leaving of his older sister, alcoholic mother, and the negative outlook of a crumbling town, as written by a gay writer who himself suffered from an eating disorder when he was young. #ownvoices

brilliant yet painfully sharp at the same time. Thank you, Sam Miller, that was outstanding. (

This was kind of a weird book. I liked that it dealt with serious subjects that aren't talked about a lot, but there were parts that felt unresolved. I would have liked it more if the author had decided exactly what the truth was, instead of leaving it open ended. (

This isn't a bad book, it's just very much not my thing. This book is very much grounded in our world with a single, somewhat small, fantasy element, whereas my preferences in YA fantasy run to fantasy worlds. The main character is anorexic, but the more he starves himself, the more superpowers he gains. Most of the story is about teen love and self-image, and it's well done, but it's just not want I want.

The hunger clears his mind, keeps him sharp�??and he needs to be as sharp as possible if he's going to find out just how Tariq and his band of high school bullies drove his sister, Maya, away.
