Ann, 39 years old, suffers from chronic anorexia and has given up hope. She's planning to end her live, but wants her story told before she does so. She contacts author Kristien Hemmerechts to help her with this. Hemmerechts tells her story using bits and pieces of Ann's journals, e-mail messages, text messages and interviews with Ann, her family and therapists. The book doesn't just tell Ann's story, but also lets us know some of the author's thoughts and feelings.
I did not like this book. Ann's story is sad (but then, which anorexia case is not), but Hemmerechts really made a mess of this book. The book was annoying to read, the story just dragged on, I didn't particularly care about the author's thoughts and feelings, the author kept repeating herself, etc. I could go on for hours about why I did not like this book, but I feel I have already wasted enough time on it. The only reason I finished it was because by the time I realized it was crappy I had already read too much to just put it away.
