A new perspective that I liked a lot

This book gave a wonderful new perspective on what it is like to live with an eating disorder without being clinical or unfeeling. The girls at 17 Swann could be any one of us, you care about them and wish them well. This was a fictional book that rang so true from the perspective of a wife who was a ballerina and living in a new country. It showed how having someone there for you helped so much as opposed to those who didn’t have anyone. It showed how the simplest act of putting a bite of food in our mouths can be so much more complicated than that to women/girls suffering from an eating disorder. I know people who have had anorexia/bulemia and saw some of their struggle, but this book kind of gave me an inside look at treatment in a good, positive way. It wasn’t depressing as the subject matter can be but really had some lovely points.
