Wasted by Marya Hornbacher
3.0

Wasted was a very well-written memoir. What I enjoyed even more were probably the quoted poems by Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and Emily Dickinson. All are poets I enjoyed so I appreciated them. However, what bothered me was the content and how it came across. Marya Hornbacher's memoir was more or less filled with tips and instructions on how to fool people to think you are recovering from an eating disorder and how to manipulate and sneak around. I feel like that would trigger many people recovering from an eating disorder and be very dangerous.
