And Janey -- actually, one thing I liked about this book is that in looking at the relationships between girls, food, power, it's nuanced and beyond labelling. Including Janey.

I think the narrative being in third-person rather than first-person really helped create that sense of distance - the writer put that between the reader and Sethie, just as Sethie was putting that distance, that illusion, between reality and what she perceived, as she pretended everything was fine when it wasn't. And, without spoiling it too much for folks reading my comment right now, yay for Janey. I wanted to help Sethie, too.
