Nothing Tastes As Good
Nothing Tastes As Good | Claire Hennessy
4 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
What happens when you give in to the voices in your head? Annabel is dead. And she's not happy about it. Despite having strived to be 'lighter than air' back when she was alive, the consequences of that yearning haven't quite sunk in yet. Julia Jacobs is fat. Which Annabel immediately notices when she's assigned as Julia's ghostly helper (don't even think about calling her a guardian angel). And as her helper, Julia's problem seems pretty obvious to Annabel. Fat = problem = unhappy. Sorted. The only trouble is that whatever is causing Julia to overeat is hidden deep within her. Annabel will have to get to know Julia to uncover this secret and 'fix' her. Annabel can become the voice of reason, Julia's source of strength. Except. . . all this time spent in someone's head has got Annabel thinking. Not just about food, but about her family too. And that maybe happiness can mean more than eradicating all the flesh from your bones.

The lyrics of #scarstoyourbeautiful brought to mind this novel, which is still on my TBR. It takes a look at the disturbing ‘culture‘ of anorexia, bulimia, obesity and image-obsessed young adults, and provides a positive message for those struggling with body confidence.

This is a harmful book. This book, if given to vulnerable teens, could actually kill someone.

I won this book in an online contest a few months back. First time I've won a book; was very excited with the win but I guess not excited enough to read it right away - shy to say, it's still untouched on my shelf. #booknerdproblems

Really enjoyed this startling perspective on eating disorders, through the eyes of two very different Irish teenagers. Irish female author rec!
