Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in fragile bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the thinnest. But then Cassie suffers the ultimate loss—her life—and Lia is left behind, haunted by her friend's memory, and feeling guilty for not being able to help save her.
In her most powerfully moving novel since Speak, award-winning author, Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia's struggle, her painful path to recovery, and her desperate attempts to hold on to the most important thing of all—hope.
Trigger warning: eating disorder (anorexia), self harm, suicidal thoughts

I don't know if this was a good book or a bad book. I only know that it was raw, and I feel queasy inside.
Look in a mirror and find a ghost. Hear every heartbeat scream that everysinglething is wrong with you. Why? is the wrong question. Ask Why not?
Very hard to read, but better than I thought it would be. Loved the different dynamics between Lia and all her family members. Also the Elijah thing.
