Perfectly Thin by Margaret McHeyzer
1.0
I normally don’t write reviews, but this book warrants it.
To preface this, this book is about a girl who develops an eating disorder. I have had an eating disorder for close to a decade. I have known people who have eating disorders.
The main character of this book has such bad body dysmorphia. She can’t see that she’s losing weight. She constantly thinks the scales are broken. Jane is so dramatic and whiny that I don’t even know if I can finish this book.
She throws the scales at her father, screaming that they tampered with them and force feed her in her sleep. That’s just…. no honey. You would choke and aspirate if that were the case.
The author depicts those of us with eating disorders in a very bad light and I do not recommend this book to anyone. I liked it in the beginning, but the constant whining and self pity have turned me off from this book.
If you’re wanting a book about a girl with an ED, do yourself a favor and read Wintergirls or Letting Ana Go. The only place this book belongs is in the trash.
