Wintergirls

By Laurie Hales Anderson

This book is about a girl named Lia who is an eighteen year old girl who is struggling with anorexia. The author really showed the thought process of Lia and how she looked at food and beauty well by writing everything that she thought, didn't think and couldn't think. One quote from this book that I think showed this are "Empty is strong" and "I breathe in slowly. Food is life. I exhale, take another breath. Food is life. And that's the problem. When your alive, people can hurt you. Its easier to crawl into a bone cage or a snowdrift of confusion. Its easier to lock everyday out."
