this story deals with a super difficult theme of people struggling with eating disorders and covers their try at recovery at anuket recovery collective. it might sound dark and difficult and that's because it is, some of the things were hard to read about because they were...relatable...and others just because it's difficult to read about people who are suffering. but! it's so well written, and there's humour interspersed in little bits in the chapters and the characters are all so vivid and they come alive when you're reading them, just like real people. i first got intrigued when i saw the story summary in the most recent stories on the archives and it's because all of the main characters described are so so different and i wanted to root for them! and honestly, the moment you start reading, you do root for them, despite of course, them being able to be annoying and difficult personalities but that's what makes them so painfully human and...well honestly i couldn't stop reading, yk?

there are only two chapters posted so far, one chapter from hannah's pov and the other from zoe's and i personally found zoe's so relatable on different levels and it even made me laugh out loud in one particular scene because it was so familiar and just,,,idk i really like this story okay. and you should read it
