A review by alexanderh
Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson
Did not finish book. Stopped at 46%.
While this book was significant to me as a freshman in high school, it is no longer helpful. I find it a little horrifying that Anderson provides in-depth thoughts on how to self-harm and "successfully" be anorexic. While it really highlights how unhealthy this mindset is, it also provides tips/tricks for those currently struggling with these issues. I personally have a policy against showing the action/methods but I still make sure to highlight the aftermath and overall unhealthy mindset.
