Book Review!

Summary: Wintergirls is a young adult novel by Laurie Halse Anderson. It follows the story of Lia, an eighteen-year-old girl dealing with anorexia nervosa. The novel opens with the news that Lia's ex-best friend Cassie, who was both anorexic and bulimic, has died under mysterious circumstances. The novel follows the course of Lia's grief and further struggles with anorexia, her difficult relations with her parents and stepmother, and her search to learn about Cassie's fate.

Today I finished reading Wintergirls. It was a book on the World Book Night book list and I wanted to read it to see why. This book was an excellent read. It was a glimpse into the mind of someones actions seem unimaginable, having an eating disorder. It show how this disease can affect the person and everyone around them. This was my second Laurie Halse Anderson book, and although they both have sensitive material, Anderson's has a way of conveying the information perfectly in her books.
