Your final review

I think this is a really good book, especially for teenage girls with eating disorders. It shows you that your looks aren’t the only thing that matters; what’s on the inside is what counts the most. It sends you the message that if you have God on your side, you can overcome any obstacles. But not only do you have to believe in God, you have to believe in yourself.
