Perfect


Perfect- By Natasha Friend ***

Every teenage girl struggles to be "perfect"- size 0, high cheek bones, and a cup size 34B. But not all girls are blessed with perfect bodies, so they are pressured to do drastic things to themselves to fit in. Isabelle Lee has bulimia and has to go to Group to help get through her struggle. Read along as you see her face her biggest challenge, her body image.

I gave Perfect 3 stars, because the end was a bit surprising, and not as most readers would expect to be a "happy ending." At some points, I felt like a part of the story and a part of everything that was happening. This book should definitly be read by all girls who've ever wanted to try to do something so dangergous to themselves and so extreme. Through this book, the dangers of eating disorders were clearly portrayed. Perfect has some mature content and should be read by readers ages 13+.
