Seventeen-year-old Sethie, a senior at New York City's Franklin White girl's school, has outstanding grades, a boyfriend, and a new best friend but constantly struggles to lose weight.
This book started off slowly for me. I felt it was going to be hard to like Sethie and understand what she was doing to herself. Eventually the story picked up and I began to get into Sethie's head and understand what she was going through. As you go deeper into the story, you really begin to root for Sethie and hope that she will reach out to her friends. I wish her mom's concern appeared earlier in the story but the ending was very satisfying. A great story from Alyssa.
