This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.
I talk a little bit about it on my other blog.
Here I thought it would be good to talk about some books on weighty matter, not necessarily books about WEIGHT, but books that make your heart ache for the characters for what they're going through. These are books I think everything high school student NEEDS to read.
Wintergirls:
This one is about weight. It's so heartbreaking, honest, and sad. It's a haunting read.
Falling For You: A new book by Lisa Schroeder - not a novel in verse, but a novel about a girl suffering. She writes her pain in poems. She helps to start a poetry revolution, writing about her step father and the new boy in her life. Sometimes his actions scare her. Review
Keep Holding On: Life is horrible. Parents fail you. Teens are Cruel. Can HOPE be killed? I really like the new paperback cover! Review
13 Reasons Why: One girl leaves behind the story of the biggest decision of her life - to the 13 people who drove her over the edge.
What tough but important books are on your list?
