This is a very disappointing book. All the reviews I read were positive, praising this book's helpful perspective, but I can't say that I agree.
Emily Halban received excellent medical care. It was definitely better than what most patients with anorexia experience. I enjoyed the final portion of the book where she included written statements from her family members, best friend, and boyfriend. However, Halban kept referring to her eating disorder as "Cruella" which honestly isn't as bad as "Ana" but still immature and annoying.
This is a "different" book on anorexia but I can't quite put my finger on why. Halban glosses over many aspects of her disease, so the book felt very vague and lacks details.… (plus d'informations)
The worst book, sorry to say. I never got into it, never could relate never understood her "point of view". Fair to say, I might be too old for these kind of books now or to far into the flow to long for more mature literature and this was definitely a huge step back. I read lots and lots of books on the topic, this was one of the worst ones.
