About this eBook
In the tradition of Go Ask Alice and Lucy in the Sky, a harrowing account of anorexia and addiction.
She was a good girl from a good family, with everything she could want or need. But below the surface, she felt like she could never be good enough. Like she could never live up to the expectations that surrounded her. Like she couldn’t do anything to make a change.
But there was one thing she could control completely: how much she ate. The less she ate, the better—stronger—she felt.
But it’s a dangerous game, and there is such a thing as going too far…
Her innermost thoughts and feelings are chronicled in the diary she left behind.

Loved this book. The ending though. I can decide how I feel. Initially I was mad now I'm a bit sad. I don't know how I feel but this book was amazing. Really touched all aspects of having an ed.

This book tore me to pieces. It saved me from my own eating disorder, and I'm grateful. The main character is a relatable character, and the family dysfunction is shockingly on point. It's a beautiful twisted example of "love from someone else may cure some people, but not all", detailing that sometimes the only thing that can save you is loving yourself. The writing is spectacular; I could see myself in the scenes as I was reading, watching from a POV. I could see the boat, hear coach's concerned questions, feel the upset tension of the parental breakage. The dance part really was heartbreaking....especially at the hotel. The end leaves you feeling as empty as poor Ana 's body. What an extraordinary, abhorrently beautiful twisted story. 100% worth the read♥️

This was absolutely one of the best books I have ever read. It was a love story with so many turns. There were a lot of sad parts, I was in tears most of the book . Then the ending was shocking and I just didnt want the book to end.
