"After a six-week stint in a residential treatment facility, sixteen-year-old Grace Edwards is finally ready to return to her normal life. With a boyfriend who adores her and her best friend Lou by her side, the possibilities seem endless. But Grace soon realizes that the real world is much harder to navigate than she had anticipated. Overwhelmed by social expectations, complicated family dynamics, and confusing relationships, she finds herself yearning for her old ways of dieting and cutting. Now she's faced with the ultimate dilemma--a choice between relapse and recovery. It shouldn't be a hard decision. After all, she's not supposed to want to stay sick. But sickness is familiar. Sickness is safe. Living, on the other hand, terrifies her, and as dark memories resurface, will she have the strength to carry on--or will she collapse under the weight of her mental illness?"--Back cover.

This book hit hard and I mean that in the best way possible. Grace is one of the strongest narrators I've encountered in a long time even though she spends most of the novel doubting her strength.
I loved how real this felt. It didn't hold back to spare anyone's feelings and rightly so. Eating disorders are real and I love seeing another book on the topic. It also did a great job representing the LGBTQ community!
One of my favorite things about Breaking Free was seeing Grace and her mother grow together. Their relationship isn't always perfect but you see them both try to make it work and in the end, it really does.
You also get a firsthand account of what it's like to be in treatment and recovering from an eating disorder.
The only thing I didn't love was the references to overweight people BUT Grace is a teenager with an eating disorder and the fact that she sees overweight people as something to fear is realistic.
Apparently this is a sequel, too! I wouldn't have realized without reading reviews because it really stands on its own quite well. Now I'm off to get the first one.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this arc. I thoroughly enjoyed it! (
