I can’t even imagine how people could ever become anorexic. But I know it happens and any book that can talk about it is important.

Have you read Wintergirls? Is it anything like that? I had a hard time with Wintergirls because of how it was written. I'm wondering if they read the same way.

This is such an important topic that I think it's okay the novel isn't perfect. It sounds like it puts the issue out there in an honest way, which is what matters most.

I've been seeing this one around a bit and have wondered if it held up. I've had my own struggles growing up, so this might be a really interesting book to pick, though it's a bummer to see it wasn't quite as great as it could have been. Great review!

Books like this always appealed to me when I was a teen, but I don't read them very much any more. But I'm glad they're still writing them. :)

Good review! I rarely read contemporary YA, but it sounds like this novel does a good job of exploring what anorexia is like from the inside, giving the rest of us a better understanding of how it affects people.
