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

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
Nàng này suy nghĩ giống như mình hồi trước, mỗi tội mình không bị ám ảnh kinh hoàng đến thế=))Gì mà ăn xong đi móc họng chứ?=))Bây giờ mình chẳng nghĩ đến giảm cân gì cả, chính mình hơi mũm mĩm tí thì có sao đâu, miễn vẫn có tiền mua sách là được rồi=)) Leggi tutto
This book has a lot of trigger warnings that I did not even think about when I was younger
This young adult novel gives a first person account of a 14 year old girl who develops an eating disorder. It gives a very simplistic version of a rapidly escalating and easily resolved case, that may not be particularly relatable to people suffering with an eating disorder. It does demonstrate how
