Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson

I'm going to die. That's what Lia knows. She's 17 years old, and weighs 73 pounds. All she wants is to weigh 0 pounds. All the bones in her body are popping out from her skin, and the bones making her feel fat.

Lia and Cassie are best friends. Ever since 2nd grade. But when Lia and Cassie have a 'skinny contest', they take skinny to the extreme. So extreme that Cassie dies, so extreme that Lia weights 82 pounds. Then Lia soon starts feeling guilty for Cassie's death. She starts cutting herself, starving herself. Really killing herself. But her family wants to help. Will they save her before it's too late for her too?

Wintergirls is a brilliantly written novel about anorexia. I'd reccomend this to every girl that i know. I'd rate it 4/5. The book had wonderfully illistarted details. You felt like you were Lia, trying to both be skinny an surviving. The book just plain out rocks. I chose this book because my friend, Heather read this book. She said it was kinda funny, yea it wasn't at all. ;)
