Memoir of overeating and anorexia - this body, hate! (1999) ISBN: 4140804122

Marya Hornbacher's openness is powerful but also intense. I wonder what motivated her to open up about her darkest moments and how she hoped it would impact others.

The honesty in describing the struggles felt incredibly visceral. I’m curious how others connected with her experiences and what part resonated most.

Her raw, unflinching voice made the memoir stand out, but I wonder if that style might be overwhelming for some readers. Was it a deliberate choice to evoke such emotion?
