About this title

Review

'Very hands on and free from psychobabble' Tropical Bird 'Unexpectedly brilliant book, so helpful. I thought anorexia was about wanting to be thin and although that is true, it is more about people trying to deal with their demons. I urge you to read it if you or anyone you know suffers from this problem.' DidesDesigner
