all of whom she keeps at various levels of distance.

Since there are few novels that explore the reality of eating disorders among Black people, I'm very open to comps that individually touch on other aspects of my book, like navigating relationships while struggling with mental health challenges, medical gaslighting, mother-daughter relationships like in Jeanette McCurdy's I'm Glad My Mom Died, even though that's a memoir, or another angle that may better make sense when trying to comp.

Thanks so much for your help.

I'm looking for comp titles for my book club fiction novel about a waitress in a small town diner who just wants to keep her head down and her heart protected until Billy Mullins, the 16-year-old son of her nemesis, shows up at her doorstep, drunk and with nowhere else to go.

I had been thinking that Alison Larkins, the people we keep for the found family dynamics, and Gabrielle Talent's crux because of the damaged female protagonist in both.

I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have.

Thanks.
