Has anyone read this? Seen anything Lily Collins is in?
I saw her in a movie and became interested in this book, as I adored her acting and in seeing her on late-night interviews thought she was an interesting human. I really identified with her dialog on struggles as a perfectionist (and her eating disorder).
I gave it 5 stars-- it's not the most beautifully written (grammar and such wise) book that I've read; it's raw and I thought a lot about my own struggles reading it. I also loved the fact that we come from very different family/background situations, and yet still the things we went through mentally were very similar.
