Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia by Marya Hornbacher

dark hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

This was a graphic, first person, experience of livin with an eating disorder. As the reader, you get to witness the obsessive and addictive thoughts and behaviours around the auther's eating disorder throughout her life starting from very young. I felt a bit hopeless about her ever recovering from her condition because she just kept putting her body through hell no matter how bad it got. But there is a moment of victory in her life where her defiance to die brought her back from the brink of death - and that is where the hope lies in her story.
