This book gave me lots of mixed emotions. There are some MAJOR triggers in this and had I read this before I was recovering from my own mental health issues, I know it would of been used as a how-to guide. I appreciate the raw honesty in the book but it also felt a little like she was bragging at times. Still overall it was powerful and I remember feeling lots of these same emotions as a young adolesent/adult too.

This was a graphic, first person, experience of livin with an eating disorder. As the reader, you get to witness the obsessive and addictive thoughts and behaviours around the auther's eating disorder throughout her life starting from very young. I felt a bit hopeless about her ever recovering from her condition because she just kept putting her body through hell no matter how bad it got. But there is a moment of victory in her life where her defiance to die brought her back from the brink of death - and that is where the hope lies in her story.

I do not recommend this book for people who have an eating disorder, or are actively trying to recover from an eating disorder - especially if your eating disorder is competitive in nature.katrinasorochinsky's review against another edition

Wow. This book was extraordinarily personal and intense. Portrays so many learned lessons between the lines, especially how health and healing are not linear processes; they take time, hard work, and so so so much patience. Not for faint-hearted no sire.
