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.Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-34505724462670958062018-01-19T13:02:22.524-08:002018-01-19T13:02:22.524-08:00Books like this always appealed to me when I was a...Books like this always appealed to me when I was a teen, but I don't read them very much any more.
