Amazing memoir about getting inside of the head of someone battling eating disorders. Knowing it's the head of a beautiful and (for a time) successful actress makes it even more interesting in terms of the dark side of Hollywood and understanding the pressure put on these people.
More than anything this was a deeply vulnerable story about Portia coming to terms with loving and accepting herself. I cried many times. Great read... and as an audio book, I went through it in record time!

I really appreciated de Rossi's descriptive way of letting us know what her ED was like for her. As someone has had some people very close to me struggle with ED I felt like I got more insight, found myself nodding along in agreement, and I hope will ultimately make me a more understanding friend.
The only place I found myself cringing was in the Epilogue and really it wasn't because she was saying anything crazy or weird or preachy --the flow was just different for me.
