Amazing memoir about getting inside of the head of someone battling eating disorders. Knowing it's the head of a beautiful and (for a time) successful actress makes it even more interesting in terms of the dark side of Hollywood and understanding the pressure put on these people.

More than anything this was a deeply vulnerable story about Portia coming to terms with loving and accepting herself. I cried many times. Great read... and as an audio book, I went through it in record time!
