5 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
Sixteen-year-old Pea looks normal, but she has a secret: she has Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, which means she cant eat very much because nutritious foods frighten her. Having ARFID is like having a monster inside of her, one that dictates what she can eat, what she does and who she socializes with. This monster is growing and controlling more than just her food issues its causing anxiety, depression and thoughts that she doesnt want to have. When she falls crazy-mad in love with Ben, she hides her disorder from him, pretending that shes fine. At first, everything really does feel like its getting better with him around, so she stops taking her anxiety and depression medication. And that's when the monster really takes over her life. Just as everything seems lost and hopeless, Pea finds in her family, best friend, and Ben the support and strength that she needs to learn that her eating disorder doesnt have to control her. SAD PERFECT is a heart-wrenching debut from Stephanie Elliot. A Margaret Ferguson Book

Loved this YA novel! Broaches a real subject, eating disorders, without being cliche. Told from a unique perspective. I learned a lot and really enjoyed this!
