What sixteen-year-old Elizabeth has lost so far: forty pounds, four jean sizes, a boyfriend, and her peace of mind. As a result, shes finally a size zero. Shes also the newest resident at Wallingfield, a treatment center for girls like her - girls with eating disorders. Elizabeth is determined to endure the program so she can go back home, where she plans to start restricting her food intake again. Shes pretty sure her mum, who has her own size-zero obsession, needs treatment as much as she does. Then Elizabeth begins receiving mysterious packages. Are they from her ex-boyfriend, a secret admirer, or someone playing a cruel trick? This eloquent debut novel rings with authenticity as it follows Elizabeths journey to taking an active role in her recovery, hoping to get back all that she lost.

Recensioner i media

"Readers will root for the novel's likable main character and gain some understanding of the complexity of her illness at the same time." --Kirkus Reviews "Through Elizabeth's painful uphill battle, newcomer Ballard skillfully illustrates that although unhealthy eating habits may start as a choice, an eating disorder is a complicated illness that cannot be battled without support and vigilance." --Publishers Weekly
