“Okay, so I liked that until the very last bit. I wasn't expecting the turn it took, so...(not that the act of surprising me was the bad part; it was more the fact that the turn itself was really, really weird.) In a way, I thought this perhaps glorified eating disorders, and that may be a misinterpretation, but just beware.

“Cutie and heartwarming”
