JJ Johnson

Believarexic

Tegan Bell

I’m usually pretty reserved in giving 5 star reviews to books centred around ED themes, as usually there’s something that cat be pretty triggering to read. This was not the case in believarexia. So many of the mantras throughout I have received in psychology sessions, and even found quite a few parts of the book to be quite beneficial in self reflection. With its humour, heart and wonderful insight, I could not recommend this book more.
