Publisher Description

Emily Halban developed anorexia in her final year at school. She went on to university at Oxford where her disease took on a powerful dimension and by her final year she was so debilitated that she had to sit her exams in a separate room where she could be fed continuously throughout each one.

With heartbreaking candour and poignant intimacy, Emily vividly chronicles the complexities and inner struggles of living with anorexia. Two years on, she traces her disease from its elusive origins, through its darkest moments of deprivation, guilt and self-loathing, and finally recounts her journey towards recovery. Emily allows us to understand what it's really like to suffer from anorexia, exposing its secrets and dispelling some of the myths that shroud it.

Alive with self-awareness, but never self-pity, Perfect is an inspiring read that will help those battling with the horrors of anorexia find a way out, and those on the outside to understand more.

Andriakx ,

Nothing less than real.

Where to start? This book is a real portrait of a girl fighting with her demon. Anorexia. Unlike any other books, there is an inside-out description of what happened inside, rather than the major changes in her body. The sense of emptiness when she was sick, the feeling of completion when she was okay. I was very pleased to buy this book, everyone should read it.
