Ending of the book was kinda meh, mainly due to the unrealistic view it has to eating disorders. All she did was read the Bible and pray and all a sudden she could eat...sadly thats not how it works in most cases..

Teenager Melissa Rollins has got the eye of the cute new guy in school. The one thing Melissa doesn’t have is a perfect body. Strict dieting and throwing up can’t be all bad, can they?
My Review - this was a pretty good book. For sure a read for young girls. I liked that it was short and sweet.

I expected a little too much from it, I hoped it would help me with some of my problems but it made me feel even lonlier without amazing parents and God. I think it is good shorty story which has happy end after all, that's all.

This story is about a freshman in high school who struggles for control with her life: homework, classes, fitting in with her friends, boys, etc.
As I read this story, I pictured myself in high school and remembered some of the heartaches and changes that I personally went through. Once the main character realizes her relationship with Jesus is the most important relationship in her life..things start getting back on track.
Overall, a very good story. There were a few grammatical errors but a good story line.

Skinny by Laura L. Smith
Skinny is about a young teen in her freshman year of high school. She's on the dance team, she's striving for top grades and keeping up with assignments and tough course work. She's popular and on the dance team and striving for the goal of team captain and she's in love with star athlete Beau who at times seems distant. She begins to diet like many young women and eventually eating becomes the one thing that she can control.
As her life begins to spiral out of control, will she lose control of herself? And who in the end has control, her or the eating disorder?
This is an awesome book for all teens, especially those suffering from self-image issues and eating disorders.
Author Laura Smith's characterization was awesome and the stories plot flows beautifully. She try captures the everyday angst and joys of teen-life and gives the reader a glimpse of the struggles of eating disorders and how easily anyone can slip into one. I highly recommend this book!
