"Readers will root for the novel's likable main character and gain some understanding of the complexity of her illness at the same time." --Kirkus Reviews "Through Elizabeth's painful uphill battle, newcomer Ballard skillfully illustrates that although unhealthy eating habits may start as a choice, an eating disorder is a complicated illness that cannot be battled without support and vigilance." --Publishers Weekly
