I will never understand parents that control their kids. I just...don't get it. Maybe it's because of my family, but I just can't understand a person that thinks a child is a robot, something to control. You can't. You can't choose a damn thing for them, once they can start moving. Which is before their born.

That is a lesson that the main character and her family have to learn. Maggie learned to let go, live, and be herself, the person no one can control but herself. It was nice, and I hope she'll continue to do that.

Maggie's weight-consciousness truly takes a turn for the self-destructive when she decides she can only be happy if she reduces her weight from 103 to 90 pounds, recording every bite of food she takes in her journal. Original.

This book...was painful to read. Reading someone destroy themselves is so hard to read. And it's so hard because it's so REAL. Maggie has anorexia, where she starved herself to lose weight, regardless of the fact she was a size 6 or 8 to begin with, which is petite. Very petite. And then to go to a size 2...

This book is Maggie losing weight to deal with her broken family that refuses to admit it's broken. The climax comes when everyone finally admits there are a lot of problems, and at the very end fo that, Maggie releases she has one too. I hope to see her healthy and ready to face her darkest self, and then see the light in her last journal.

Once I find somewhere to buy it.

(I did skip about 26 or so pages, I just couldn't take it).
