Release by Tori Barkosky
Published November 2024
★★
Short memoir about life with (and, partly, recovery from) an eating disorder. This is about on par with what I'd expect from a self-pubbed book by a beginning writer. Chapters are grouped more thematically than chronologically, and they're quite short; at times it felt a bit as though the book was an outline with a series of topics that were each expanded upon in brief to make up the chapters. That's fine, of course, and I hope it was all cathartic for the author to write, but this isn't one that is likely to stick with me.
