Fascinated and horrified.

 
Oh my. This book was unreal. Or I guess I mean too real. Portia De Rossi so bravely wrote about her eating disorders that I couldn't put the book down until it was over. Of course, I knew that she ends up ok cuz she is out there in the world with us still but through her amazing and honest writing you can't help but feel that her death is imminent and ache for her to realize it before it's too late. 
I have decided to try and post a small excerpt or even a couple of sentences that really caught my attention when I post after reading. Sometimes I just post what I have on my shelf so I may not go back and add anything unless I really feel the need!

"When it's quiet in my head like this, that's when the voice doesn't need to tell me how pathetic I am. I know it in the deepest part of me. When it's quiet like this, that's when I truly hate myself."
