Hello my lovely readers!
I recently finished Fasting Girls: The History of Anorexia Nervosa by Joan Jacobs Brumberg and while it was a good and informational book, I don't think I'll keep it on my shelf. There was nothing inherently wrong with it, but it just didn't WOW me enough to keep it.
I actually bought this book while I was in Costa Rica, so let me give you a quick travelogue about my time there.
BACKGROUND
Nico and I went to Costa Rica in August 2021 for my birthday. I've never been too interested in the outdoors and all of those nature activities, but we had a great time! We went whitewater rafting, which was terribly frightening, but I'm glad that I did it.

We were in the La Fortuna/Arenal area for the majority of the trip and stayed at this cute boutique hotel that had an AMAZING view of the Arenal volcano. We also went on an UNBELIEVABLY grueling hike up and down, all the way around the Arenal volcano. I mean, great views, but I was not ready for that in the slightest.
We went back to San Jose (which is about 3 hours from La Fortuna) to catch our plane back to the States at the end of our trip, but of course, I had to stop at a bookstore!

| Hello from San Jose, Costa Rica! |
We visited La Mora bookstore which is this independent bookstore and has books from floor to ceiling. It's small, crowded and smells of old books, but I loved it. The owner was lovely as well and I ended up finding this book! Let's get into it!
