title: The End of Our Story
author:  Meg Haston 
description: Wondering whether or not Stevie will forgive herself before time runs out makes for a tense read...Stevies nascent recovery feels honest, personal, and well-earned. (Horn Book Magazine on Paperweight)<br /><br />Hastons contribution to the genre stands out for the complexity of its characters and for small, telling details that demonstrate just how difficult recovery can be. (Publishers Weekly (starred review) about PAPERWEIGHT)<br /><br />Biting and brave, Meg Hastons writing is so emotionally elegant that at times I had to read and reread just to savor it. Im the wiser for having read this book, and I cant wait to see what she writes next. (JODI LYNN ANDERSON, bestselling author of Peaches, Tiger Lily, and The Vanishing Season on Paperweight)<br /><br />This wrenching and emotionally honest debut will break your heart and put it back together again. (Deb Caletti, National Book Award Finalist for Honey, Baby, Sweetheart on Paperweight)<br /><br />Clear eyed, unapologetic, and ultimately redemptive, Paperweight pays homage to the diffi cult process of recovery. (Lexa Hillyer, author of Proof of Forever on Paperweight)<br /><br />A carefully constructed buildup still lends to a quick read that is hard to put down. Haston deals respectfully with the difficult subject matters of eating disorders and focuses on the recovery rather than the disease. (School Library Journal on Paperweight)
