Historia
Anna Roux was a professional dancer who followed the man of her dreams from Paris to Missouri. There, alone with her biggest fears - imperfection, failure, loneliness - she spirals down anorexia and depression till she weighs a mere 88 pounds. Forced to seek treatment, she is admitted as a patient at 17 Swann Street, a peach pink house where pale, fragile women with life-threatening eating disorders live. Women like Emm, the veteran; quiet Valerie; Julia, always hungry. Together, they must fight their diseases and face six meals a day.

Historia
At Recovery and Relief, a treatment center for girls with eating disorders, the first thing Shoshana Winnick does is attach herself to vibrant but troubled Rowan Parish. Shoshana — a cheerleader on a hit reality TV show — was admitted for starving herself to ensure her growth spurt didn’t ruin her infamous tumbling skills. Rowan, on the other hand, has known anorexia her entire life, thanks to her mother’s “chew and spit” guidance.

Historia
Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At 17 she's already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she's learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don't have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie's heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.

Historia
In this searing, unflinchingly honest book, Portia de Rossi captures the complex emotional truth of what it is like when food, weight, and body image take priority over every other human impulse or action. She recounts the elaborate rituals around eating that came to dominate hours of every day, from keeping her daily calorie intake below 300 to eating precisely measured amounts of food out of specific bowls and only with certain utensils. When this wasn’t enough, she resorted to purging and compulsive physical exercise, driving her body and spirit to the breaking point.

Rose and Lily Winters are twins, as close as the bond implies; they feel each other’s emotions, taste what the other is feeling. Like most young women, they’ve struggled with their bodies and food since childhood, and high school finds them turning to food - or not - to battle the waves of insecurity and the yearning for popularity. But their connection can be as destructive as it is supportive, a yin to yang. When Rose stops eating, Lily starts - consuming everything Rose won’t or can’t.

When 13-year-old Mia finally reveals a closely-guarded secret, it soon echoes throughout her school. She was born with synesthesia, a neurological cross-wiring that lets her see sounds, taste shapes, and smell colors. To Mia, the letter A glows with faded sunflower-yellow, screeching chalk sizzles with jagged red sparks, and her cat's voice puffs with orange-mango haze. How can Mia "the alien" find acceptance and self-worth?

My sophomore year changed everything. I dropped 40 pounds after a stint in fat camp. Prior to losing weight, most of my time was spent comparing myself to my twin sister and trying to hide my cankles. But losing weight made all things seem possible. Now I'm popular, vying for the hottest guy in school and competing for a prom queen nomination. Finally, I'm getting noticed, and it's all because I dropped the pounds.

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.

Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one wonderful and terrible summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

Historia
There are no shortcuts to surviving your first day at a new school - you can't fix it with duct tape like you would your Chuck Taylors. On day one, 12-year-old Malu (Maria Luisa, if you want to annoy her) inadvertently upsets Posada Middle School's queen bee, violates the school's dress code with her punk rock look, and disappoints her college-professor mom in the process. Her dad, who now lives a thousand miles away, says things will get better as long as she remembers the first rule of punk: Be yourself.

passable time passer
I'd probably like this book more as a recovered bulimic with a dead dad. But I'm not that, so I didn't get much out of it. The disordered stuff didn't really ring true for me. The ending came, and instead of asking the questions it obviously wanted me to be asking, I was just like, "okay? FINALLY, I guess." Part of it is that it's likely out of my age demographic. Isabelle is 13, I'm 17, I'm not really gonna relate. Also the performance takes a while to get used to, it's entirely possible I'd actually like this book with a good reader, or even if I read it myself. I found the voice put on for some characters to be really grating, including the main character.
Also, reading the other reviews, this book is apparently bad for struggling kids! The main demographic! Like, I already knew the "tips" they gave, so I didn't think much of it, but yeah, probably a bad choice. I honestly wouldn't recommend this book to anyone I know.

Very good book
I picked this up because I have two daughters who are about to go to a new school and they're struggling with "who they'll be" at the new school. My oldest (12h is also going through the he "I'm so fat" stage even though she's very thin for her age and height. I just wanted to see what this book was all about so I read it and enjoyed it though don't think I'd let my kids read it (don't want to give them any ideas about how to become bulimic or anorexic though the store was so much more than that which really helped to balance out the whole story very nicely.

DO NOT LET YOUNG GIRLS READ
This book gives tips and advice about throwing up and makes it seem like it’ll immediately make you thin. I wasn’t insecure at all before reading, but after I genuinely dealt awful and it vividly describes how to throw up and tells you how. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

Good book, but WORST READER EVER!!!
This is a good book, but the reader, Danielle Ferland, is TERRIBLE!!!! Zero stars for performance!!! I can't even finish it. I made it about half an hour, divided into two days. I wish I could return it, but I've returned two books lately (the yearly limit is only two returns!), and I do like the story, so maybe I'll suffer through the reading at some point in the future? Anyway, I've decided that I will use the print copy to record myself reading it aloud so I can listen to it read in a reasonable way. (I listen to audiobooks while working out, otherwise I'd just read the book.)
Ferland, the reader of this audiobook is an old woman trying to put on a teenager voice, so she sounds squeaky, the way old women tend to talk when they think they're sounding young. That, I could handle, if it were only that. But Ferland also reads EVERY line as though she's cussing out somebody. No matter how mundane it is, like describing what someone is wearing, Ferland says it as though she's very over-dramatically trying to mean-girl the crap out of somebody. It's so unrealistic, so over-the-top, that it's not only annoying but it takes you out of the story, since every line of narration or teen/kid dialogue is exactly the same. But then, when she reads the dialogue of an adult, Ferland puts on the opposite kind of over-dramatic voice, a very sappy over-sensitive voice, which does not fit the dialogue at all. For example, when the mom tells the daughter that she likes A Separate Peace and would like to talk about the book with her, Ferland says it as though the mom is offering to discuss a a fatal diagnosis or something, super super over-sensitive that doesn't fit at all. Ferland very obviously hates teenagers and kids and wants listeners to view all teens and kids as spoiled obnoxious brats. Even as an adult I am offended at her portrayal of teens and kids. I work with teens and kids. I know what they're like. The reader of this book clearly has had zero interaction with teens or kids at any point in her life. Seriously, Ferland must've been home-schooled and then isolated in a cave somewhere and never met anyone under 18 in her entire life. Where on earth do they find these "readers" and why would they pick that old lady to read this book??!!!
The book itself is fine. It's only Ferland's reading that is bad.
I hope Audible will have this book re-read and replace this audiobook with a proper reading, just swap it out so we can listen to it read correctly. I wish I could return this, since Ferland makes it unlistenable. I've returned two books recently, which is the limit for a year, so I can't return this one.

This book is toxic
This book ruined my life when I was 14. Now, 30, I revisited it to see what I can remember. It is an instruction manual for how to be bulimic. The protagonist is friends with a girl described as having a perfect body, who everybody likes, with a whole drawer full of notes from boys, and she gets to eat absolutely every junk food imaginable and still keep it all. She teaches Isabelle that if you drink soda while you binge, it’s easier to purge. You can take laxatives. You won’t gain weight from bingeing and purging. It describes how many fingers to use and how far back in your throat to put them. It describes the girls getting away with purging at school. Disguising the sound of you purging by running the tap. This is all stuff a 14 year old doesn’t know. I copied what I read in the book and I still struggle with an eating disorder today. Obviously there are a lot of contributing factors, but mine started right here. I would NEVER let a young adult read this.
