What impressed me most about "Anorexic" is that it gave a clear insight into the true and destructive nature of anorexia. It in no way glamourised it and the reader is left with a clear understanding of the destructive nature of this terrible illness.
Anna Paterson's story is one of abuse and then neglect, which led to years of pain and suffering. It ends on an extraordinary upnote as she finally finds someone who loves and supports her, giving her the strength to come out the other side after being so horribly close to death.
"Anorexic" must have taken a great deal of courage to write but it was well worth it. Compelling.
