A book every teeng girl should read

[whit3tig3y]

I read this book only a few months ago, and I was blown away by it. In my opinion it is a book that every teen girl should read. Or atleast every teen girl that is worried about their weight should read. It certainly is an eye opener.

The book is called Stick Figure by Lori Gottlieb. It is a true story about a girl who progressively becomes anorexic written in the form of the diary. It is based on the diarys of the author who went through this experience when she was younger. It is written in a fashion that everyone can understand it, and everyone can see where the author is coming from.

I really don't think I can put into words how much I love this book. Has anyone else read it?

i'll have to check it out.

i would also recommend "Loose Girl" by Kerry Cohen to you.
it's one of those books that any girl can relate to, but you just hate to admit that you've felt that way.

I had anorexia for many years. I haven't read the book, but would a book about over-eating fatties be allowed in these PC days?

I don't quite understand your comment about political correctness.

At any rate, we live in a time where books are about the only things left that can be politically incorrect, ironically graduated from days of book-banning and burning.

I knew a couple of girls with eating disorders, I wonder if reading such things would have helped them or just made them feel worse... I know for one of them it wouldn't have magically changed her, though.

Hi,

You are absolutely right.I have read the book and can tell you that the writing style of the book is utterly different from the others and it has the content which every teen girl should read once.

I glanced over it, but it didn't seem to set itself apart. I am going to have to give it a closer look.
