A review by mdettmann
The Art of Starving by Sam J. Miller

3.0

This was a pretty disturbing look at a male teen's eating disorder. Disturbing in that it was raw and real, but also really hard to read at times. Matt also has a lot of family issues and he's gay with a crush on a boy whose friends bully and intimidate him. Matt thinks starving gives me powers of ultra observation and thus navigates his high school with pain in his stomach, but an all seeing eye. I'm not sure what crowd would enjoy this book, but it would definitely be a conversation starter for high school and up.
