I have read a lot of books on eating disorders and this one is okay.

It is very short and the issue I have is that this book tries to be informative and describe someone's experience at the same time - it can't seem to decide what hat it wants to wear.

Its not horrible at all, but there are way better books on eating disorders out there.

At only 84 pages, this book is a quick read. I think it's important to tell stories like this so those struggling know they aren't alone and that there is hope for better days ahead. Wallis shares how her battle with bulimia began, progressed and how she overcame her battle. She ends by encouraging both those in this same fight and those who love them.

Thanks to Valiance Publications and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I found this account of one young woman's struggle with bulimia dry and uninspiring. She doesn't go into emotional depth or include the reader.

I found Wallis's story to be well written and filled with brave details about her family history and growing up as the oldest with a mom that was 15 when she had her. The story is heartbreaking but also very inspiring. I enjoyed the ending and how she gave examples for someone that is on a healing journey. New affirmations are always useful. I would suggest adults read this as well as those battling bulimia.
