It's a well written book which needs to be honest and boy is it ever. I couldn't finish it though.
This is a great book for anyone who either has an eating disorder or knows someone who has one. I borrowed this book from a friend and couldn't put down.
This book is excellent ! It may have saved my Daughter's life.
Portia De Rossi tells us about herself and with this makes us to think about ourself. Book is perfectly written, easy to read but hard to realize the real story.
Honest and brave. I have more respect for Portia than ever.
An amazing book, very well written. I love it.
Amazing book. She really draws you into her world and keeps you there.
Portia de Rossi wrote a great book. She is an amazing and extraordinary woman to survive anorexia and bulimia.
Maudlin, self absorbed and spoiled little rich lesbian manipulator and profiteer from down under bemoans her "tragic tales." An utter waste of time, money and effort.
This book gives an insight into sufferers of eating disorders. I found it interesting as a parent of an eating disorder sufferer.
I purchased this book because I thought it was going to be different from all the countless eating disorder memoirs lining the non-fiction (and sometimes even self help?!) shelves in which the authors essentially compete with one another to tell the most shocking and extreme war stories of starving, exercising, and/or binging and purging-- always under the guise of helping others by "shedding light" on the problem.
I am a clinical social worker, working with several clients with eating disorders. One of them recommended this book.
I've literally never read a book where the author was/is so entirely involved with herself as this one is.. Not a pleasant experience.
I wasn't really expecting anything from this book since I've never really followed Portia's work, but I was so utterly pleased with it and her story that she has to be one of my new favorite celebrities. I found myself relating to so many of her thoughts and reactions.
Are you a female?Are you a male trying to understand a female with an eating disorder?
