Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Brianna
A Read for All Ages
When I picked it up - I honestly didn't know what to expect. I'm not exactly the greatest at the symbolism thing. Once I figured out the numbers meant calories it clicked!

I read the book from beginning to end. Never put it down once. Heart touching and emotional. Laurie uses words that literally make you visualize what is happening.

The scale. The hospital.

Excellent read - in my opinion.

:/ it was ok...
This book was semi-difficult to get through. I finally got through it on my second try. My first try I read the first few chapters and my second was for summer reading so I was kind of obligated. It had a good story line but it wasn't really for me.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Ciara
Wintergirls.
Overall this book was amazing, it was very breath taking. & I completely understand where Lia is coming from throughout the book.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Annie Vaudrin
