I guess I should clarify what I me...Thanks, Sidne!<br /><br />I guess I should clarify what I meant. I know full well what peer pressure, the push to be popular, and the influence of others can do to a teenage girl. My issue was that Kessler seemed to gloss over the reasons behind Lisa's eating disorder. She spent so much time focusing on its effects but not enough looking at the causes. It was yet another symptom of Kessler's inability to create a believable, well-planned character history.gabrielreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809365791580695386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515719778921089707.post-21372656080671020162011-05-19T10:54:37.537-04:002011-05-19T10:54:37.537-04:00Nice review, I too had been seeing a lot of review...Nice review, I too had been seeing a lot of reviews on this novel and wondered about adding to my list, However, some young girls anorexia does begin with them observing other girls whom they think looks better than they are especially if its a young lady that lacks friends. Appearance is such a stronghold for young teens and most females care very much about what other girls think of them, it is scary at times. When i worked as a social worker in a high school, I learned and saw first hand the negative influence 'appearance' reflected on young ladies that i set out to start a mentoring program. Successfully there were eight placed in the school system high schools. a few H.S. placed my mentoring program within their existing health program taken with physical education. <br />I enjoyed reading your review.Sidnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14481259299431306849noreply@blogger.com
