This book ("in the tradition of
Go Ask Alice") is ostensibly the found journal of an anorexic teen. The girl, a star runner, starts obsessively keeping track of her caloric intake after her father leaves her (overweight) mother. She starts to recover, then, as
Alice fans can predict, things go terribly wrong. An over-the-top but engaging cautionary tale.
