People often say that silence is golden. In certain cases, it is. But when someone is suffering from an eating disorder, silence can lead them down a dark and isolated path. A young woman named Skylar has found herself on this path. As she strives to find her guiding light, she is weighed down by worry and self-doubt. She reaches out to her mother for help, but her mother refuses and misery takes Skylar’s hand instead. She finds herself losing her sense of direction in life, her last shred of happiness, her soul. But hope is not lost. Skylar seeks treatment and is rewarded with newfound family and friends. They are the first crucial step to her long recovery and fill her with the determination she needs to reach her full potential. With newfound confidence, Skylar digs deep to find her true purpose in life.

While reading this book I was in deep thoughts because I really relate to this book. I always had an eating disorder and I thought that I was fat because other people said I was fat. But when I read this book it saved my life because I went through the same experience as Skyler.
Great novel, great cover, and inspiring. My favorite chapter in this book is scarlet. Scarlet is a wonderful character and brave. This is a great book.
Enough is enough! We have to love ourselves enough. We deserve the best of the best. BTW I love how this book because it focuses on an important topic that is not spoken enough about and that is an eating disorder. Our lives stand for something.
