Content trigger warnings 
✔️ Emotional abuse - her mom was always trying to get her to lose weight and be thin like her

Quick take:
I loved this story! I enjoyed the writing of the characters, the scenery, the overall story and that there was a little bit of mystery to what led her aunt to do what she did.
