Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson

This week I read Wintergirls  written by Laura Halse Anderson. This fiction book was about two girls who were in a competition that ends in a deadly loss. The competition is to see who can be the skinniest, and when one of their lives are taken the other has to recover from the loose and anorexia. The book starts off right in the middle of them making the pact. "I took the knife out of my pocket and cut my palm, just a little."I swear to be the skinniest girl in school, skinnier than you."" This really caught my attention and made me want to learn and read more. This book was really good, but it was a little slow in some parts, as for and content warnings this book is all about anorexia, bulimia, and drugs.
