Letting Ana Go

Warning to anyone who has or knows someone that has been affected by anorexia.  Potential triggers ahead... I have four books from this "Anonymous" series. I picked it up to read because it was short and I needed a quick read. Okay, I had no idea what emotional battle I was in for. This is heart-wrenching read dealing with the struggles of a high school girl and anorexia. I enjoyed the book. I gave it four stars. It let me into a world that is difficult for those who have never suffered the disease themselves find difficult to understand. This book helped me to wrap my brain around the difficulties of not only the person with the disease but also those around them.  The book is told in the format of a high-school girl's diary. The girl, Ana, goes from just watching what she is eating for cross-country to calorie-counting, obsessive compulsive. If I had to guess, this is a realistic account of anorexia. However, I realize that I am no expert on the disease, but it d...

Strong Looks Better Naked

 So let me start by saying that I am a huge Khloe fan. Out of all the Kardashian sisters, Khloe is my favorite with Kourtney coming up as a close second. My fiance bought me this book for a few reasons. One reason is that I am Khloe fan, but I also wanted to know more. I wanted to know more about her split from Lamar and how she lost so much weight and became even more gorgeous. I wanted to know about Bruce's transition to becoming Caitlyn and how that affected her... Now, I will also be honest that this book took me over a year to finish. Not because it wasn't good, but because it somehow always was placed on the backburner for my "fun" books. I read this book when I needed a pick-me-up. The book was mostly meant to inspire other women to be more positive and to explain how she went about learning to love working out. The book inspired me in some aspects to get into shape, but in other aspects, it was just guilty pleasure entertainment. If I didn't love Kee...

Inexcusable

UGHHHH!! Before I get too deep into this, I have to admit that I HATED this book. I gave it 2 stars on Goodreads and that was pretty generous. I found myself skimming through pages quite often and found myself dreading reading it (but also kind of just wanting to read it all the time to get it over with).  Inexcusable caused me to be internally conflicted with whether or not I liked the protagonist, Keir. The book starts off with, "The way it looks is not the way it is...And I don't feel guilty. That is, I don't feel like I am guilty. But I sure as hell feel sorry" (1). OKAY PEOPLE, let's just start off with the fact that he raped a girl!! I understand that he said he was sorry, but saying you're sorry after an action like that is hardly forgivable. My issue with Keir right-off the bat was that he DIDN'T FEEL GUILTY! How can he not feel guilty? I guess that I was not digging the book right away because I felt so angry towards him for claiming he was ...
