Add a CommentThroughout the book, I kept waiting for the storyline to get better, but it never did. Just the same sob stories repeated, and the ending was too predictable.
I love this book socks
Really good!
A "Perfect" book for young teens learning about or experiencing eating disorders. The quirky, emotional story line puts it into easy perspective and explains "why" very well. It does still kind of skip around some of the raw, grimy facts of what it's like to be bulimic, but it does cover the general disorder very well.
‘Perfect’ was a great book to read and I recommend it to my friends. Doctor-at-Bass -2! M. A.
