Summary
Seventeen-year-old Elena is vanishing. Every day means renewed determination, so every day means fewer calories. This is the story of a girl whose armor against anxiety becomes artillery against herself as she battles on both sides of a lose-lose war in a struggle with anorexia.
Told entirely from Elena's perspective over a five-year period and cowritten with her mother, award-winning author Clare B. Dunkle, Elena's memoir is a fascinating and intimate look at a deadly disease and a must-listen for anyone who knows someone suffering from an eating disorder.

Feels authentic
This book felt like a very honest account of a long lasting struggle with ED. The narration was very good as well. Even a few aha moments during the account of therapy sessions towards the end.

Frank, graphic, true and real
The frank and raw truth of those suffering and their families. It echoes so many of the real struggles that most eating disorder sufferers go through. It is graphic and real - but then so are eating disorders. Thank you.

Honest and from the heart
Great to read, the thoughts rang so true and it clearly hadn’t been censored for people to hear just the nice parts of recovery

Review
Before listening to this book it helps to listen to her mother’s memoir hope and other luxuries it helps provide a timeline and give the full picture, both sides of the story. Both books are worth reading.

Worth every minute of listening
This is so beautifully written, so honest and raw. It details the harsh realities that comes with having an eating disorder but also the beautiful messy road of recovery. From someone who is recovering from Anorexia this book means a lot and has helped me feel less alone.❤️

I almost fell asleep listening this
I almost gave up listening to this but kept thinking that it has to improve at some point. Unfortunately it never improved, it is extremely boring and repetitive and would not recommend you buy this.
