This worthwhile book details the author’s agonizing battle with anorexia nervosa, and I am grateful to her for now having a better understanding of this crippling addiction for thinness. It is a fast read that starts off very engaging and heartbreaking, where we get a clear sense of the author’s destructive relationship with food and how this has impacted her life. But around the middle, the story becomes more like a teenager’s diary, with details of her antics and somewhat mundane day-to-day activities. Towards the last few chapters, she changes pace and skims through the major events of the last few years, with a hopeful ending.
Thanks to the author for a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest review. ( )
