Description

The New York Times bestselling story of a friendship frozen between life and death.

“A fearless, riveting account of a young woman in the grip of a deadly illness.” —The New York Times

Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in fragile bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the thinnest. But then Cassie suffers the ultimate loss—her life—and Lia is left behind, haunted by her friend's memory and racked with guilt for not being able to help save her. In her most powerfully moving novel since Speak, award-winning author Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia's struggle, her painful path to recovery, and her desperate attempts to hold on to the most important thing of all: hope.

    Certainly could be a trigger for anyone who has suffered from an ED. But for those who haven’t, the book takes you into the mind of those who suffer from the monster called anorexia. You have to decide if you want to be sick Lia or recovery Lia. I’ve read it at least 3 times and will definitely read again. It’s very emotional for me as I relive my own journey alongside Lia.
