Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Sandra F.

Being 14 can be the worst time of a girl's life and for Katy it certainly was the very worst. What could be worst than moving to a different state just when things seem to be going great for a change?

This book is all about control. Katy believes that her life is out of control because she has no choice in the move or her new school. The only thing that she can control is her own body. So she starts to diet in the hope that being thinner will help her to fit in at her new school.
Soon Katy has lost control again and she has to be put in the hospital for her eating disorder.

Finally Katy decides to fight back against her illness and regain control of her life. New friends and a new boy in her life help her to get well again.

Reading this book is a very emotional experience. The author makes you feel all the emotions that Katy feels. It was really so great to read a book where the character had real life problems to overcome and the fact that she was able to overcome them was an inspiration.
