"Society seems to think doing this to teenage girls is okay, but it really isn’t. It was society who taught me that I wasn’t good enough, that it would be so hard to love myself. It all started when I was hardly thirteen. Barely old to enough to realize what I was doing to myself. Barely old enough to realize what all of this would turn into.
Barely old enough to know that this disease would take over my life."
Lilia is a sixteen year old girl, who, like millions of other teenage girls and boys, is dealing with anorexia, or Ana for short. This is her story about how she copes with living with her eating disorder. Her girl best friends seem to be clueless, but her ultimate best friend, Connor, who knows her like the back of his hand, is soon catching on to Lilia's tricks and lies. Before they realize it, they're falling in love, and he wants nothing more but to save his love. But the only person who can save Lilia from herself, is her. But when tragedy strikes, will this disease push Lilia to her limits or allow her to recover?
