Publisher's summary

In the tradition of Go Ask Alice and Lucy in the Sky, a harrowing account of anorexia and addiction.

She was a good girl from a good family, with everything she could want or need. But below the surface, she felt like she could never be good enough. Like she could never live up to the expectations that surrounded her. Like she couldn't do anything to make a change.

But there was one thing she could control completely: how much she ate. The less she ate, the better - stronger - she felt.

But it's a dangerous game, and there is such a thing as going too far....

Her innermost thoughts and feelings are chronicled in the diary she left behind.

My favorite ED book.

This is my favorite ED book because it's so real and honest in what it's like to have one and as sad as it is there is no happy ending and that is often the sad truth to this deadly disorder.

Chilling and raw

A vivid account of one young lady's descent into "ana." This diary being read aloud without commentary (until the very end) really makes clear how serious and tormenting this illness is. That message cannot be overstated. Give it a listen and encourage family and friends to do the same.

Heart breaking!

What a story. The struggles she faced and the life she had. Highly suggest listening to this. Very tough listen though as it is so sad.

I’ve never come across an all around 5 star book..

I suffer from anorexia nervosa and, not only was it not fully developed until after my son was born, but at the age of 32. I live in hell every day, where I’m now 37, and no treatments (2 therapists, 1 stay at residential and PHP) have worked. I’ve recently been actually being able to see through the lies of the disorder but unable to stop engaging in extreme behaviors the more time goes on. I’m 37 though, not a typical teen case of anorexia. In no way am I attempting to make any offense, I am just stating, that my age group has maybe %5 of research done that teenagers get most clinical research done and typical recovery settings are not going to have any lasting effect on a mid-life adults. If I’m being honest, I don’t see a probable outcome for myself, and the way this book captures the slow decedent and the steady loss of reality just made me so sad for anyone who suffers from this awful disease and also made me feel grateful, in a way, for the bravery of this author’s work. This book was mid-anorexia for me, I’ve since declined mentally and physically, so I feel as if I could only have a simple wish (not something as huge as “I’ll never develop this disease”) but something really small, it would be that I was still able to feel any joy, whatsoever, even at the end-climax of the book, as the character in this book does. I’m moved, grateful that this book has reached so many, has educated in an absolute perfect way, sad, felt as if I was well understood and just overall just loved this book so much. Hated that this reality exists, but loved the rawness and accuracy.

Letting Ana Go

Struggled to finish the book. It was a very sad, but true story. I hope that young girls including my daughter understand that they are beautiful no matter what.
