Slim to None : A Journey Through the Wasteland of… von Jennifer Hendricks
Very sad and very repetitive. About half the book is Jenny's diary entries and the other half is her father's imaginings of what she was thinking. There's really no way to know what Jenny was actually thinking so her father really discredits the book. There's a good point in here somewhere about the mental health care system but it gets lost in all the repetition.
I had to take a break from this one. Every time I picked it up to read, I got really sad and too upset to even focus on it. One day I hope to finish it. It's still on my bookshelf.
A tragic memoir detailing the life of Jennifer Hendricks. It's interesting to see the differences in treatment of eating disorders then, in comparison to now.
