2 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
Asking for help is only the first step Jennifer cant go on like thisbinging, purging, starving, all while trying to appear like shes got it all together. But when she finally confesses her secret to her parents and is hospitalized at the Samuel Tuke Center, her journey is only beginning. As Jennifer progresses through her treatment, she learns to recognize her relationships with food, friends, and familyand how each relationship is healthy or unhealthy. She has to learn to trust herself and her own instincts, but thats easier than it sounds. She has to believeafter many years of being a believarexic. Using her trademark dark humor and powerful emotion, J. J. Johnson tells an inspiring story that is based on her own experience of being hospitalized for an eating disorder as a teenager. The innovative formatwhich tells Jennifers story through blank verse and prose, with changes in tense and voice, and uses forms, workbooks, and journal entriesmirrors the protagonists progress toward a healthy body and mind.

A memoir of the author‘s bulimarexia experience and healing, as a 15 yo inpatient at a treatment center. She promised herself if she made it, she would write about her experiences during this time to help and inspire others. Honest and engaging
