Alexandra’s Recent Updates

The Plunge by Chris Ballard
"I get cold very easily and have a hard time rewarming, so while I was interested in reading this, I didn’t think ice swimming would be for me. After reading, though, I find myself interested in testing those waters - I even took my first cold shower " Read more of this review »

“What he didn’t understand was that we weren’t choosing this. Not anymore, anyway. The first time Simone threw up, she made that choice. And no one else made me go on my bikini diet. But after a while our eating disorders messed with our brains. They became something we didn’t have control over. Something we couldn’t stop by ourselves even if we wanted to.”
Alexandra Ballard, What I Lost

“Some families pass down musical Talent. We passed down starving ourselves.”
Alexandra Ballard, What I Lost

“And you shine, Elizabeth. So much.”
Alexandra Ballard, What I Lost
