I never put this down.
The thing is, some teenagers can relate to the feelings of this girl. I totally reccommend this for anyone over 11. You really get to know how she's feeling.

A book every mother and daughter should read
As a teacher and former camp counsellor I find this book to be an accurate portrayl of a very serious and common coming-of-age problem. It presents the story of Isabelle Lee, a thirteen-year-old girl who is dealing with some pretty heavy issues. First of all, her father has died and noone in her house is allowed to talk about it, grieve or move on. Because of this, Isabelle tries to deal with the pain of situation on her own. This leads her to numb the pain with bulimia.
Her mother finds out and sends her to group where at frist she is hesitant to open up but soon shares her story with her counsellor, Trish.
Also at group, she meets Ahsley Barnum, the so-called perfect girl. Ashley intorduces Isabelle to new wasys of dealing with her eating disorder (laxatives). At first, Isabelle admires Ahsley but she soon learns the truth about her new friend's not-so-perfect life.
This book deals with the harsh reality of eating disorders, greiving, peer pressure, sibling rivalry, friendship and body image. Friend presents an accurate and bittersweet portrayl of these issues.
Because of the vivid description of bulima I would reccomend that a mother and daughter read and discuss this book together.

I loved the book and i 'll read it over and over
i think the book would touch a lot of teens because this book not only reflects on a regular girl in the school who thinks she is not as pretty as the other girls , or ,the book can touch the popular girl of the school who is pushed down by preer pressure trying to live up her reputatiob in hte school. i think if a mother was to read this book though it would make them more concerned with their teenage girls and make them want to be more active with them. as for the whole bulimic thing you just have to really look inside the book and realize that it might make you loose weight but it does nothing else for except make you feel even more worse about yourself.
