Lia and her ex-best friend Cassie are "wintergirls,"
skinny, skinny girls with eating disorders competing to see who can be
the skinniest. Written from Lia's perspective, this book goes into what
it's like as an older teenage girl dealing with a messy family (divorce,
step-sister, step-mom, unavailable mom) and a messy life and what she
does to try to escape the pain.
This book is classified under "Young Adult," but I think it could be good reading for anyone. It's heavy and chilling, and well-written. Highly recommended.
