Anorexia and bulimia. Popular somewhat but not that interesting.

Written in diary format, this book follows the struggles of Kim through the last year of high school and the first year of college. The only thing Kim feels like she can control is her eating, which leads to her anorexia and bulimia. I struggled to follow this book. There were many parts that seemed inconsistent. On one page it stated she met her friend's parents, and a few pages later it said she was nervous about when she would meet them for the first time. I felt as though many parts just rambled on. This book does do a good job of getting the reader into the mind of someone struggling with an eating disorder, and it also shows how to get help. It also talks about the real struggles that kids face when they first go off to college, which is good for seniors to be aware of. I would recommend this book to girls who are in middle school or high school. It would also be beneficial for a health class that is studying the causes and effects of eating disorders. ( )

No bones about it, this book was so badly written it almost made me throw up!
It certainly was not very original. In fact, it seems like a lot of this was lifted directly from Cherry Boones' autobiography "Starving for Attention"---especially the dog food bowl incident. ( )
