I can't imagine living with the kind of pressure being in the public eye brings. This story is also a great reminder that you never really know what is going on inside of another person, no matter how beautiful and together they may seem.soleilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912665327917655751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504883854292781643.post-65609957111776590952011-02-05T16:04:05.464-06:002011-02-05T16:04:05.464-06:00Dawn - It sounds like she truly does.

I can't imagine being so obsessed with body image that you would do this to yourself, but I also know that this is a problem that is all too real for some people. I was glad to see your review of this book, because this is the first one I have come across. It sounds like it was an intense and interesting read.

I really appreciate when people write from their true emotions rather than what they "should" say. I think she does a beautiful job of describing her struggles with eating disorders, while still portraying the true emotional problems that were fueling it. <br />Thanks for the review, Im glad people are reading this even though its a tough one to read!crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144330347406193919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504883854292781643.post-19681302166893418392011-01-08T12:27:05.258-06:002011-01-08T12:27:05.258-06:00love your new design, and can't wait to borrow...love your new design, and can't wait to borrow this book! :) <br />CarolynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504883854292781643.post-69292962684971055462011-01-08T10:12:27.172-06:002011-01-08T10:12:27.172-06:00Wow, she's so brave to reveal herself like tha...Wow, she's so brave to reveal herself like that.
