A very hard (but very good!!) book about eating disorders. It's hard to read about the girl suffering because she's "fat" (she's not); it's hard to read about the mother suffering to be present but also build a career; it's hard to read about how both of them were trying to connect and they simply couldn't.
The book goes deep on the diaries, with all the conflicts a family can have. If you want to know more about eating disorders, or if you know someone that has it and you don't understand, this book can teach you a lot.

This book seems like it's about a daughter with anorexia-bulimia, a mother who's oblivious to it and how they overcome her eating disorder. I thought the diary entries revealed more of how parents really don't know how/what adolescents feel/do. It never fails to amaze me that there is such a huge disconnect between the majority of teenagers and their parents (me and my own parents are no exception).
I'm glad Tara Rio was able to get help for her eating disorders. It always makes me sad when young women and men have such low self-esteem that they violently hate their bodies enough to (sometimes permanently) damage themselves. I hope other adolescents and young adults can get the help they need, too.
