This book was difficult to get through. It is written in diary format by a young teenage girl. There is not much of a storyline besides the struggles that she has to go through with her eating disorder. Personal stories are always somewhat enthralling and I found a bit of that in this book, but I felt that I was twice the age of the target readers she was going for in this novel. Another thing that bothered me is that this book is only [based on a true story], so things have been edited and revamped and I was definitely able to tell. Part of the novel was written from the perspective of a grade 7 student and the vocabulary was beyond that of a child still in elementary school. However, she did follow up using these larger words and complex sentences by saying she was intelligent. It seemed contrived. I'm always drawn to memoirs, but I wish I would have left this one on the shelf.
I rate this 3 / 10
