I was not expecting this book to be so fascinating. This book is about a young woman who develops anorexia and shares her journey at her treatment facility on 17 Swann Street. It is written in an incredibly easy to read way and the book went fast as it is under 300 pabes. Anna’s thoughts, urges, impulses, Love, are clearly seen on every page and you are battling this illness with her. The book dives into Anna’s story and develops her character and family very well but it also discusses the other characters living with her and their story. As a doctor, I was impressed at the accuracy of the description of the symptoms and the medical problems that occurred with these women. I had to go look up if this story was a true story because it seemed so accurate. Although it’s hard to read about people who are sick, this book is a work of art taking you on this journey of eating disorders and as the book says, “There is no tragedy to suffering, it is just as happiness is, to be present for both, that is life"
