About the book
I am so scared.I feel like I'm silently screaming for helpand no one pays any attention of tries to hear me.I can't control anything anymore.It's all out to get me!When Kim can't handle things, she eats. Then she purges. Sometimes she fasts. She knows she isn't as thin as the other girls on her gymnastics team, and she's worried that now, away from home for the first time as a college freshman, she won't be able to live up to expectations — especially her own. Eating is the one thing she can control — or can she?
