A hard book to read, but definitely an eye opener for someone who has never experienced body dysmorphia or an eating disorder. And those who have, this book is very validating and helpful. 💕

This book is okay. I probably would have read this book when I was a teenager. I feel like if someone reads this book, it needs to have warnings to go along with it. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
As a social worker, I can tell you this story is so inaccurate. There is no way Anna would only be in treatment for 5 weeks and then be discharged, with her severe anorexia. She never worked on her trauma and she had a feeding tube in a week before discharge?? No way. Not an accurate representation of recovery.
I decided to start this book tonight. I won this book from a Goodreads giveaway but I decided to listen to this book on audio. So far, I‘m not feeling emotionally invested in the story and I don‘t know what to think about the writing style even though the chapters are short. This book is kind of sad but I want to give it more time before I decide to DNF it.
Smaller Sister is graphic novel that communicates the importance of sisterhood and self-awareness. I think this book would be a great addition to Health Education classes. It highlights a variety of pressures that pre-teens and teens face in their lives at school and home. This book and its themes are necessary for young readers.

Part work-read & part personal-read to support a family member. Evidence based. Easy to follow plan for dealing with binge eating. Recommended 👍🏼.
Serious trigger warning with this book: eating disorders.
This is the story of Portia De Rossi‘s battle with anorexia and how it almost destroyed her life. Very moving and relatable as someone who also struggled with disordered eating.
An interesting read but definitely triggering so read with caution.

A really wonderful graphic novel. I didn‘t really read the blurb for this before diving in, I figured it was just a story about being the younger sister and getting along with each other. In fact “smaller sister” refers to the older sisters battle with anorexia. It‘s a really engaging and honest story, beautifully done. My 14 year old read it after me and said “wow mum I can see why you hate diets now”. So thank you to the author!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
