Summary: Good For Both Adults and Teens
Comment: Although the book is fictional, it is based on the wuthor's real-life experiences. This makes it more realistic than quite a lot of fictional books. The story is written in the style of a diary, from the point of view of Blythe. At the outset, she is 13, but gradually gets older as the book progresses. It is set in America. I don't want to give too much away about the plot, but Blythe's problems begin when she starts to compete with Laurie, another girl in her year who has anorexia. It spirals from there. I would recommend this book to both teenagers and adults as it's very good for an afternoon's reading. It's not too heavy, either.

Summary: Amazing Insight
Comment: This book provided amazing insight into the life of a girl struggling with an eating disorder. It not only allows the reader to gain understanding of the complicated issues that are part of an eating disorder, but also portrays the other aspects of the girl's life and how they are affected.
What makes this book truly enjoyable to read, however, is the witty style and the clever prose with which is was written. The young girl's comically melodramatic personality and wisdom beyond her years shine's through in each journal entry.
Through the pages, Morgan Menzie materializes and leads the reader through a tearful,yet laughter-filled journey of her adolescence. This book is definitely one of those books where the reader sits down and reads until she is finished, and even then is somewhat saddened to have reached the last page.

Summary: Worth your time!
Comment: I read this book a year ago and by far it is one of my most favorites. Over a time period of four years i was anorexic and to see that i was not the only only one and that someone has had it a lot worse than me shows that i can make it. I recommemnd this book to all teenage girls everywhere. Even if they are not anorexic or do not think they have a weight problem it will make them understand how t help people around them who are!
