Garotas de Vidro

Laurie Halse Anderson's depiction of eating disorders feels authentic and raw. I'm curious about the research or experiences that informed her writing.

The way grief manifests in the characters made me think about how different everyone’s mourning process can be. Was it too intense for some readers?

Those repeated motifs added a surreal, almost ghostly layer to the story. I wonder if they signify something deeper about memory or guilt.
