Title: Lacking...
Product review: As I am in recovery myself, I expected to find something I could relate to in this book. However, I found that the case of Ms. Gottlieb just didn't ring true to life. This book does little to portray the grip of obsession that anorexia can have over one's life, nor did it describe the heartbreak that can come with this disorder. Most troubling was the book's conclusion, in which Lori seemed to realize, in a bolt-from-the-blue fashion, that her eating disorder wasn't worth it. Amazing how a person could magically get over an eating disorder so quickly! To recover from anorexia requries a lot of effort, and although I'm sure Lori Gottlieb must have put forth that effort in her own life, she certainly didn't clearly portray that in her book.
