I’ve read quite a few books about main character’s who have eating disorders. I find them very interesting and like to see the differences in portrayals. This one was extremely raw. At points I was very disturbed, but in the most eye opening way I ever have been in reading about this topic.
I felt like Anna was my actual friend and I was with her along her journey to beat her disease. Anna’s denial and fall backs made her such a real character to me. The other girls at 17 Swann Street were portrayed so differently, which went to show how each person is unique and has their own experiences.
Overall I thought this book was written in the most poetic, beautiful way. It was so easy to get drawn into Anna and her struggles. I was so fully immersed in this one it was hard to put down.
