Publisher Description
Junior high is where things really start to happen. Cliques form and break apart. Couples are made and destroyed. And a reputation is solidified that you won't ever be able to escape. Everything you do and say, and everyone you spend your time with, matters.
Katie Mills knows that. She gets it. That's why she tried so hard to get in with the cool girls at school. And why she was so devastated when those efforts found her detained for shoplifting and laughed out of cheer squad tryouts.
But Katie has more to worry about than just fitting in. Her parents are divorced and always fighting. Her sister never has time for her. And her friends all seem to be drifting apart. Even worse? The boy she has a crush on is dating the mean girl at school.
Everything is a mess, and Katie doesn't feel like she has control over any of it. Certainly not over her weight, which has always topped out at slightly pudgier than normal—at least, according to her mother.
So when she happens to catch one of the popular girls throwing up in the bathroom one day, it sparks an idea. A match that quickly engulfs her life in flames.
Is there any going back once she gets started down this path?
And would she even want to if she could?

This is amazingggggg
This is such a great book I can relate to a lot of stuff Katie goes through. I hate when people say things about people’s body it just pisses me if so much. My aunt is always saying something about how my body looks but idc anymore because now I like my body and no one can tell me other wise soooo….lol um oh and also my boyfriend says I’m pretty and my body is perfect just the way it is and it doesn’t matter what u look like u don’t have to be a model to be pretty u don’t have to be skinny to be liked cause to be honest most skinny girls are flat front and back I mean I don’t think people like big big people who look like amy and Tammy but boys do like big woman skinny girls make it seem like ur holding a stripper pole but even skinnier than a pole so don’t u ever doubt ur body and love ur body instead cause u r perfectly imperfect
Spoiler kinda
This book was very interesting to read, it felt raw and realistic. As someone who had a eating disorder they wrote this perfectly and showed the journey of an actual struggling teen girl. The only complaint I had was that the part with daisy felt so rushed. Like oh this happened… the end. There was no grieving period and I would have loved to see daisy get some justice. But that’s just my opinion otherwise this was an amazing book. Thank you
Good book on a tough topic
This book dramatically takes the reader through the main character’s journey toward, into, and recovery with bulimia. The thirteen year old Character accurately conveys her feelings and emotions as her world swirls out of control and the painful process of putting things back together. It’s a good book on a hard topic and certainly not a light read.
