Synopsis: Hornbacher once again brings readers into her life as she tells, in stunning and sometimes horrifying detail, about her diagnosis and the things she struggles with because of her illness. She brings the reader through multiple hospitalizations, a divorce, a marriage, and to rock bottom and back again.
I have to say, right now, I am biased. I am a huge fan of Marya Hornbacher's work, having read and reread her book Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia enough times that I have it memorized. Completely. Cover to cover. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, even though it was, at times, not easy to read. The truth is not easy to read, neither is someone's pain. I honestly think that everyone should read this book.
Overall Rating: 5 of 5 bookmarks
Would I recommend?: Absolutely and whole-heartedly
Safe for children?: I would probably allow someone as young as 13 to read it. Parental discretion encouraged.
Where can you find it?: I downloaded this one from the Amazon Kindle store. But I've been told it is also available at Barnes and Noble and at Borders.
