An interesting tale that provides insight into the mind of those people who are bulimic and anorexic. It shows how these people think and how they view themselves. You see one person progress from being what we would term “normal” to having severe problems with these diseases to beginning to overcome them. Although I did feel at times that some of this information and some of this story was a bit contrived. I felt that the content of the book was good but some of it seemed too made up. This was not as good as other Anonymous books but I am sure young adults who are dealing with these diseases would find the information interesting.
