Believarexic -- A NetGalley Review
Jennifer is finally tired of having the monster inside telling her that she wasn't good or skinny enough. She went to her parents that didn't believe that she had an issue, but went ahead and signed her in to a Eating Disorder facility. While there, she had to eat everything that was given to her, go to individual/group/family therapies, and deal with untrusting nurses. Jennifer has many realizations that deal with the individual, family, and friend relationships. This true fiction Young Adult novel, starts with her realizing that she wants help and ending when she leaves the facility.
I do not feel qualified to review this book, as I have never been in any type of facility or therapy, and I don't mean this as bragging. Some of the insights that Jennifer comes to in the novel struck a cord with me on how my relationships have progressed or even came to be. JJ did her best to not give numbers or specifics of the disease, most to keep from triggering other people.
I would recommend this book to parents of teens, and teens that may be struggling with some thing in their lives.
This honest review was inspired by the free digital ARC given to me by Peachtree Publishers via NetGalley!
