"Life Size" by Jenefer Shute is written from the point of view of an anorexic woman, one who has been forced into a recovery facility in order to save her life. At first, I was waiting for the woman to come to her senses...but as the book goes on, the deep psychosis became so clear, it was an almost frightening read, like being in someone's diary without their permission. I will never again look at someone with an eating disorder and wonder why she doesn't "just eat something" - it's not that simple.
If you know someone who has an eating disorder, this book is a must-read.
