Diary of an Eating Disorder: A Mother and Daughter Share Their Healing Journey by Beverly Browning Runyon, Chelsea Smith
2.0
One of the problems with diary-style books is that, without analysis, the events of the book can fall flat. Lack of analysis is, I think, the problem here.
The writing isn't particularly interesting and the narrator isn't particularly likeable, and I think I would have gained more from the book if she'd been able to take a step back, gather up her diaries, and write something that incorporated what she'd written in her diaries but didn't rely entirely on it.
