Publisher Description
Why would a talented young woman enter into a torrid affair with hunger, drugs, sex, and death? Through five lengthy hospital stays, endless therapy, and the loss of family, friends, jobs, and all sense of what it means to be "normal," Marya Hornbacher lovingly embraced her anorexia and bulimia -- until a particularly horrifying bout with the disease in college put the romance of wasting away to rest forever. A vivid, honest, and emotionally wrenching memoir, Wasted is the story of one woman's travels to reality's darker side -- and her decision to find her way back on her own terms.
Customer Reviews
Phenomenal
Amazing book. Extremely triggering. Be careful.
Butchered
I demand a refund. I own the actual book, and this ebook has completely butchered it. The first thing I noticed were the typos - too many to count, and there are none in the book. Second is word word replacement. Third is cutting out complete scenes! Why do this? I am outraged and want my money back.
INSPIRING
This is my favorite book of all time. I had to read it for an optional book report. It discusses issue I and others may have and poses questions no one says aloud. Read it!
