Eireann, a teenage girl, has been in many facilities for her recovery from bulimia. Although, she never knew that Dan, the love of her life, is being affected by her abusing herself more than she thought. Not being able to take what Eireann is doing to herself Dan tries to kill himself. They both struggle to fight through life together. ( )

Well written, but really sad and disturbing. ( )

A memoir in poetry is tricky due to the very nature of poetry. Eireann Corrigan is able to pull this off by being brutally honest and the occasional poem that reads like an interview. Discussing her high school years dealing with an eating disorder is no light reading material, especially when her high school boyfriend attempts suicide. Throughout the memoir Corrigan provides descriptions that puts the reader in the hospital with her. I look forward to reading more by this author. ( )

I'm not sure what propelled me through this book, Corrigan's sardonic wit ("she tries out for varsity recklessness and only makes jv") or the impossible truth of her circumstances (girl with eating disorder & popular boyfriend becomes caregiver of said boyfriend after they break up & he attempts suicide). But I LOVED it. ( )
