![]() ![]() ![]() And if Stevie gets her way, there are only twenty-seven days until she, too, will end her life. There are only twenty-seven days until the anniversary of her brother Josh’s death-the death she caused. But what no one knows is that Stevie doesn’t plan to stay that long. Her dad has signed her up for sixty days of treatment. Nurses and therapists watch Stevie at meal time, accompany her to the bathroom, and challenge her to eat the foods she’s worked so hard to avoid. Life in the center is regimented and intrusive, a nightmare come true. And now in an eating-disorder treatment center on the dusty outskirts of the New Mexico desert. I slide my right hand across my stomach and count the ribs on the left side. Realistic relationships and character development. A book about loss and eating disorder, very gritty and real. A really great book that takes the reader into Stevie’s mind and gradually reveals her past and the progression of her disease and therapy. My teaser today is from Paperweight, by Meg Haston. ![]() Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. ![]()
