Beschreibung

What sixteen-year-old Elizabeth has lost so far: forty pounds, four jean sizes, a boyfriend, and her peace of mind. As a result, she’s finally a size zero. She’s also the newest resident at Wallingfield, a treatment center for girls like her―girls with eating disorders. Elizabeth is determined to endure the program so she can go back home, where she plans to start restricting her food intake again.She’s pretty sure her mom, who has her own size-zero obsession, needs treatment as much as she does. Maybe even more. Then Elizabeth begins receiving mysterious packages. Are they from her ex-boyfriend, a secret admirer, or someone playing a cruel trick?

This eloquent debut novel rings with authenticity as it follows Elizabeth’s journey to taking an active role in her recovery, hoping to get back all that she lost.

Bewegend und realitätsnah!!

Dieses Buch ist eine wirklich gute representation der realität einer Essstörung. - beeinhaltet allerdings einige Triggernde inhalte; also wenn ihr dem Thema selbst nahe seit dann passt auf💖 Das Buch ist relatable und könnte vorallem angehörigen von betroffenen einen recht realen einblick der erkrankung aus dem blickwinkel einer betroffenen Person geben! 4 sterne nur deswegen weil mich persönlich das Buch ein bisschen runter gezogen hat - ist aber natürlich Personen abhängig!

But mirrors are the worst. One reflection lifts your spirits and another crushes them. A good one can make you feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. But a bad one can make you burst into tears. I think the main goal of the main character, Elizabeth, was to beat her anorexia. Which sounds like the book might have had a point, but to me, it felt like it was going nowhere. Every chapter was a repetition of the previous one. Nothing happened, every character sounded the same and there were not distinct voices and a lot of things were left unanswered at the end of the book. Elizabeth constantly claims to be a feminist, but mentions like "The hurt in his voice surprised me. Wasn't he supposed to be happy just having sex?" irked me. I just had zero motivation to pick this book up but I appreciate it that the author tackled the topic of eating disorders in a YA book.
