Another preachy after-school special sort of book in pulpy paperback format. Perhaps my opinions are slightly skewed by living in a world where there's no way in hell an anorexic, especially one with as few physical problems as the protagonist, is going to receive such prompt, aggressive, and prolonged treatment. It seems so overly heroic and *simple* when I've known people who've experienced much worse. ( )

Great book, I'm so glad I read it because it gave me a good understanding of eating disorders at a pretty young age.

Taught me that anorexia and bulimia are serious illnesses. ( )
