Story3.5 out of 5 stars 2
"I want you to like me, to think I am the most beautiful, the smartest, the thinnest...." With these words, Abby Kelly encapsulates the overwhelming struggle of her 15-year bout with anorexia. Beginning in her teenage years when the predatory lies of the disease took root in her psyche as she felt pressured from family and peers for not being "enough", Abby lays bare the reality of anorexia.

Would you try another book written by Abby D. Kelly or narrated by Susan Crawford?
No
What will your next listen be?
Not sure
How could the performance have been better?
This book is mainly about the author's 'spirituality' and religion. There is a lot of referencing bible verses and mention of Christ. Description should have mentioned that the author's main purpose is to link her recovery and religious journey, as I wouldn't have purchased had I known.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disppointment- book felt more about religion than eating disorders.
