But, I think at some point in high school, I've dealt with severe eating issues, so on the other hand, for me personally, I would love to read this and see how Metzger brings the issue to the forefront and if I at all felt what the main character feels. I am very intrigued by this now! It sounds like an emotional read, and one I would enjoy. I'm glad you enjoyed this, Andrea! Great review! :D<br /><br />~ Maida<br /><a href="http://loveaffairwithabookreviews.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow">Literary Love Affair</a> <br />MåїÐ»-(¯`v´¯)-»https://www.blogger.com/profile/17761335857561590565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-15072231827794849832013-08-04T19:28:29.208-07:002013-08-04T19:28:29.208-07:00Wonderful review.

I love that it deals with a male though because many people don't realize it's more than a "girl's disease."Shooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-46008258982019749652013-08-04T13:22:47.809-07:002013-08-04T13:22:47.809-07:00speaking as a mom who has raised three teenager..t...speaking as a mom who has raised three teenager..they all go through periods of bodily issues and concerns ..kudos to you for realizing boys/men worry too.

I know both males and females, including myself that have suffered with this. You nailed it. It's crucial to recognize that men can suffer from eating disorders as well. Great review.

(Being a gymnast from a young age on a competitive level unfortunately exposes you to a lot of it.)I thought that using anorexia as the voice was a great choice. I listened to it on audio, and I thought it didn't translate well to out loud reading, but I did thing the actual story itself was great.
