Sinossi
Ellie, cicciottella e decisamente meno bella delle sue inseparabili amiche Nadine e Magda, comincia a non mangiare più. Le due amiche le danno della pazza, ma per loro è facile: Nadine è una ragazza copertina, Magda è incredibilmente attraente. Che fare? Arriva a sfiorare l'anoressia. Dopo che Nadine ha perso un concorso di bellezza, Magda ha rischiato di essere violentata e, soprattutto, un'altra ragazza finisce all'ospedale per anoressia, Ellie finalmente si scuote. Comincia così per lei un lento ritorno alla normalità. Età di lettura: da 11 anni.

Recensioni
A decent attempt at writing about a topic the author did not fully understand- I read this book twice, once when I was very young, and again a week ago, a few months into recovery from my own eating disorder. While this book is informative about anorexia, bulimia and EDNOS (the symptoms, effects and Leggi tutto
Book two of the four-part "Girls" series, featuring three best friends as they grow into adolescence. Our protagonist, Ellie, is a very realistic character - I certainly felt the best connection with her whilst reading the series for the first time. This book is more grown up than the first; Ellie a Leggi tutto
I have chosen this book to review as it is one that particularly stands out in my mind going back to my earlier years of finishing primary school and entering second level. This writing is based around a young girl who begins, in the shadow of her “skinny beautiful model” friends, to self deprecate Leggi tutto
I started reading this book Two weeks ago and I loved it. It not only relates to how I feel but I am pretty sure it related to many of my friends and other girls out there. This book opened my eyes into knowing how important it is to take care of my body. The main characters are three best friends: Mag Leggi tutto
So there's a lot happening in this book: Ellie has become obsessed with her weight and wants to lose some, Nadine has the opportunity to become a model and Magda has an identity crisis when she finds out local boys think she's 'easy'. Oh and suddenly Dan has become very distant with Ellie.. I've read Leggi tutto
This is a really difficult one for me. I had a lot of issues with my eating when I was a teenager and I can't help but see some of my thought processes in this book, which I would have read around the same time. This book handles some really difficult topics, surrounding body image, anorexia and bul Leggi tutto
Girls Under Pressure should honestly be read by each and every girl living in this world. IT IS SO EDUCATIONAL (Girl-wise)!!! Let's get to the fun part then. The thing with this book is the way is has been written, by the point of view of our main character Ellie, who is one of the funniest characters Leggi tutto
This is honestly such an important book for me and I’m so glad I decided to read it again in my somewhat adult life. It tackles some really tricky topics but in such a way that it’s not so heavy but still gets across the seriousness. If I have children one day I will for sure hand these books down t Leggi tutto
This is probably the most problematic/traumatic of the 4 but also the most entertaining. It was honestly triggering even for me and there is no way I would let a teenager read this. Also we never find out what happened to Zoe in the end?? There wasn’t really a good conclusion it was just kind of lik Leggi tutto
