What an emotional, relevant debut novel! So much of what we see in the media right now is about weight loss, and we don't focus on the flip side--eating disorders. This book is a heartbreaking look at the psyche of an anorexic--Anna, a former French ballerina who enters a treatment facility. I enjoyed the character development in this book as well as Anna's relationships with the other girls. They celebrated each other's success and supported them through their struggles. A well written read you can't put down!
The author did a fantastic job creating a character you can relate to. You could feel the fear and emotion that Anna felt after being "forced" to eat her meals every day--something I can't relate to but is so vivid in this book.
