Description
Lia and Cassie are best friends, their lives frozen in fragile bodies, locked in a deadly contest to see who can be the thinnest. But when Cassie suffers a devastating loss, Lia is left to pick up the pieces, haunted by her friend's memory and wracked with guilt for not being able to save her. In this powerful and moving novel, Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia's struggle, her painful path to recovery, and her desperate attempts to hold on to hope. With unflinching honesty, Anderson delves into the complexities of a toxic friendship and the devastating consequences of eating disorders. A heart-wrenching and thought-provoking story, Wintergirls is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever struggled with body image, self-acceptance, or the complexities of female friendship.
