Emily Halban developed anorexia in her final year of high school. She went on to college at an Ivy League school where her disease took on a powerful dimension. By her final year she was so debilitated that she had to take her exams in a separate room where she could be fed continuously. With heartbreaking candor and poignant intimacy, Emily vividly chronicles the complexities and inner struggles of living with anorexia. She traces her disease from its elusive origins, through its darkest moments of deprivation, guilt, and self-loathing. As she recounts her journey towards recovery, Emily draws us into her raw experience of anorexia, exposing its secrets and dispelling some of the myths that shroud it. Beautifully written and alive with self-awareness, but never self-pity, this inspiring read will offer those battling with this all-consuming disease a glimpse of perspective and hope, and help those on the outside to understand more.

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. (
