"Dead girl walking," the boys say in the hall.
"Tell us your secret," the girls whisper, one toilet to another.
I am that girl.
I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through.
I am the library aide who hides in Fantasy.
I am the circus freak encased in beeswax.
I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelin frame.
--Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls.
Wintergirls is amazing.
Read it. Now.
It's about an anorexic girl whose bullimic friend committed suicide and now she's left to deal with the aftermath.
It's triggering, it's thinspo. It's great. One day I'm going to write something like this.
I started reading Wintergirls(: it is by far the best book ever! i love it soo much!!!
