This books was amazing and I think it should be on the syllabus for all schools. Grace is a girl who deals with social issues that so many kids do these days. She struggles with self image as well as her parents attention. Unfortunately, she finds the need to be accepted and to fit in even more powerful that her own health. This book really does an amazing job making the reader understand how easy an eating disorder can get out of hand. Also, how easy it is for that person to hide it from the people closest to them. My heart was breaking for Grace and I wanted to jump into it and hug her.
So many school kids are bullied for so many reasons and it's horrible. Because of this some kids will go to great measures to change the person they really are even if it pits their life at risk. In their minds it's all worth it in the end.
If you know someone who is struggling, not just with an eating disorder, I suggest this book. Hopefully they will see that it's not just them who is affected. And of course, if you see something - say something.
