She works hard, fails sometimes, but she does her best and over time is able to get better. She doesn't just wake up one morning magically cured. And this book shows Stevie's struggle with recovery in what I would imagine is a realistic way. This is one of those books that doesn't romanticize the illness, it shows it for what it truly is. Haston really got to the nitty-gritty of this disease and you could tell it was very well researched. I can't remember the last time I read such a hard hitting book. I won't get into specifics with the plot because it is mostly about Stevie's recovery and treatment, as well as her moving on from her brother's death which she blames herself for. ![]() The story follows 17-year-old Stevie who has just been admitted to an eating disorder treatment clinic and is still reeling from her brother's death almost one year ago. If any of the above triggers affect you, please, for your sake, proceed in this book with caution. Regardless of your personal life, this book deals with an extremely difficult issue in a very intense way. ![]()
