Edit: My favourite book for the year 2021.
Wow. I knew it was going to be a heavy read. Evanna has a way with writing and I truly hope this is only the beginning of a new career path.
It focuses on her sinking into the depths of anorexia at age 11, and her hospitalisations and eventual forced institutionalisation to a very strict recovery centre.
Evanna deliberately leaves out triggers for people struggling with eating disorders such as size weight etc.. A very wise move. I am myself a survivor so I was cautious whilst reading. I empathised with so much of her feelings. Thank goodness she has a supportive family behind her.
It is a confronting read. Brutally Honest and at times very raw.
Reading this has only made me love and admire Evanna all the more. I wish I could give her a hug!
Her resilience strength acceptance of self and courage is to be commended.
Bravo Evanna! 5 stars!
