Mia Ernest has a problem: She starves herself. Everyday, she makes it her goal to eat only grapes, whole-grain crackers, and yogurt to survive, all for the purpose of becoming skinnier. But when her partially-present parents notice the problem, they send her away to Willow Marks Home for Eating Disorders. There, she must learn to "control her dietary habits and rebuild her strength" with the help of the supervisors and attendants. She meets many new people along the way, including Mr. Brennan, or, more preferably, Elijah, who teaches her how to fall in love with herself just the way she is. And, maybe, along the way, she'll fall in love with him, too.
Sometimes, I'm not always sure what to do. I feel like I'm always wrong, like I'm never good enough. I'm invisible and it's as if I don't exist. If I really didn't exist, I don't think anyone would care. I'm all alone in this great big world, I'm lost.
Maddie has never been good enough for anyone. Her perfect sister, Megan, always manages to outshine her. Her father never pays attention to her, because he's always worried about Megan.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, Maddie goes to group therapy, where she shares her feelings. Every week it's the same thing, until Maddie gets a new lab partner: Zach Williams, every girl's dream date.
WARNING: I wrote this book when I was really, really young. It is very poorly written and has a TON of grammatical errors. I'm working on editing/rewriting this.
