Synopses & Reviews
In the tradition of Go Ask Alice and Lucy in the Sky, a harrowing account of anorexia and addiction. She was a good girl from a good family, with everything she could want or need. But below the surface, she felt like she could never be good enough. Like she could never live up to the expectations that surrounded her. Like she couldn't do anything to make a change. But there was one thing she could control completely: how much she ate. The less she ate, the better and stronger she felt. But it's a dangerous game, and there is such a thing as going too far. Her innermost thoughts and feelings are chronicled in the diary she left behind.
