About This Book
Reach for this book if you are a parent of a teenager navigating the intense complexities of body image, eating disorders, or the heavy grief of losing a peer. It is a raw and stylistically bold exploration of eighteen year old Lia as she spirals into anorexia following the tragic death of her former best friend, Cassie. This story does not shy away from the dark realities of mental illness and self harm, making it a powerful tool for opening honest, albeit difficult, conversations about health and recovery. While the themes are heavy, the narrative ultimately leans toward the possibility of choosing life over destruction. It is best suited for older teens and should ideally be read alongside a supportive adult who can help process the visceral imagery and emotional depth.
