It gives a detailed and thought provoking account of what it is like to be suffering with the negative thoughts associated with eating disorders. I would recommend this book to those interested in reading about eating disorders in a first person manner. I think that those people aren't realizing that this is written in the eyes of a teen-someone who might not have the capability to think in the depth-ful manner that those are wanting and someone who has a lot going on in their life that they barely have time to process their own feelings. However, if you are reading multiple reviews on this book you might see that there are a few people who complain about the depth of the book. The description of each character, event, and setting within this novel was described at a level that was easy to quickly visualize and then move on to the real meat of the book quickly (unlike the last book that I read). I believe that Anderson did a phenomenal job portraying the struggles and thoughts of someone who is suffering from an eating disorder, a teen going through normal teen stuff, someone who lost a really close friend, and someone who is still trying to figure out life. The thing that I loved most about this book though was the first person perspective into the life of someone truly experiencing a hard time in their life. I love the way that Anderson writes, and I think that all of her books are easy to understand and quick to read. This book has been nominated for numerous awards, and I can see why.
I really enjoyed this novel, and I think others will too, but I want to ensure that those who are reading this book are aware that there can be some very triggering material written in this book. Please note the trigger warning above before diving into this book.
