Book Review: The Diary of an Anonymous Teenager
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is about a girl named Kim who has an eating disorder. She keeps trying to stop but it seems as though it won't leave her. When things aren't going her way she eats then she purges (upchucks). She is in Gymnastics and feels as though she isn't as thin as the other girls. Her two best friends are Melanie and Cam. She has twin sisters, Dara and Lara.Kim is a college freshman at UCLA and lives in a Sorority house. She has had a hard time adapting to all of her sorority sisters. She does not like it there so she eats junk out of the snack machine, feels really bad because she thinks she will get fat overnight so she purges. She thinks that she needs to loose fifteen pounds. She does not tell anyone about her problem, because she is too ashamed of herself. One day while walking out of Gymnastics she faints because she hasn't kept food in her stomach for four days and she weighs 74 pounds and is 19 years old. The school sends her to the hospital and the doctors find out that she has an eating disorder and puts her on a feeding tube. Once she gets out she weighs 103 and says she has rolls. So she starts taking Laxatives. Will she ever get over this problem or will it always be with her? Read the book to find out! This book is excellent! Thats why I gave it 5 stars! I like this book because Kim is an ordinary girl and her story could be any other girls story. Kim seems just like most girls (with the exception of the eating disorder).The setting is where the story takes place and the setting of this book is in Arizona during the summer! People who like to read biographies or books about eating disorders. This book is a very good book. It is definitely a book for the girls! Girls you should read it!
Summary of Kim: Empty Inside: The Diary of an Anonymous Teenager
I am so scared.I feel like I'm silently screaming for help
and no one pays any attention of tries to hear me.
I can't control anything anymore.
It's all out to get me!
When Kim can't handle things, she eats. Then she purges. Sometimes she fasts. She knows she isn't as thin as the other girls on her gymnastics team, and she's worried that now, away from home for the first time as a college freshman, she won't be able to live up to expectations -- especially her own. Eating is the one thing she can control -- or can she?
