Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


Maybe it is because I have never suffered from an eating disorder, but I ended up not being able to finish the book due to the fact that it became draining on me to read such negativity. This, of course, is just personal preference. Others might find this book inspiring and perhaps easy to relate to, but I, however, just couldn't make it through the book. I think I thought it would have a little more gain in the book, than what I felt seemed to focus a little too much on the loss. She is a very good story teller though. It never became boring to read. Like I said, I just didn't prefer reading such negative thoughts.
