Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain by Portia de Rossi

3.0

This reads like Portia is having a conversation with you. I expected this to be more of a publicity thing and that the reality of bulimia and anorexia would be softened. I was wrong, this feels so honest, brutal in places, so you can't help but connect with her and you can almost see where she is coming from.

If you are curious about the mindset behind eating disorders, a great read.

I knew this book was affecting me because every time I started reading I had to have a cookie -- an odd reaction even to me to a story of bulimia and anorexia.
