“Dead girl walking,” the boys say in the halls.
“Tell us your secret,” the girls whisper, one toilet to another.
I am that girl.
I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through.
I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelain frame.

Lia and Cassie were best friends, wintergirls frozen in matchstick bodies. But now Cassie is dead. Lia's mother is busy saving other people's lives. Her father is away on business. Her step-mother is clueless. And the voice inside Lia's head keeps telling her to remain in control, stay strong, lose more, weigh less. If she keeps on going this way—thin, thinner, thinnest—maybe she'll disappear altogether.

  This book made me speechless. The way that Laurie Halse Anderson got into the depth of the pain someone who is suffering an eating disorder is beyond amazing.This book is by far one of the most intense,haunting, and inspiring books i have read that is revolving a teen with an Eating Disorder. I got interested in the subject of eating disorders i ended up doing my English research paper on how eating disorders are becoming more common now in teens.It is beautifully written just like her other book Speak.It is a must read for young adults and adults alike.
