This book was okay. I bought it on impulse and thought it was a rather dull read. Kept hoping that it would pick up at the end. Maybe someone else would like it better than I did.

The book is categorized under fiction, & I do hope that is the case & that it is not semi-biographical. The mother in the book sickened me---in fact when reading this book it constantly brought back to mind Julie Gregory's "Sickened: The Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood" (which is sadly, an actual memoir).
It is bad enough to set such a poor example to a child, but to inflict the same on them by means of verbal abuse is inexcusable.
The book seems to end in an odd way until one contemplates the symbolism of it.

It was an interesting look into one girl's slide into an eating disorder.
