Is weight what really matters in life? Maybe it is, maybe it's not. Maybe some people care about it more than others.
Livia, 17-year-old girl gets to experience the real raw world. Friends, best friends, are suddenly making her conscious of her body. The comments are driving Livia to the deep end, suffering endlessly from the need to starve, to always be more beautiful. Can she be saved anymore, or does she even want to be saved?
Disclaimer: English isn't my native language, so I'm very sorry if there's spelling mistakes, etc!!
Also, this is my first real book here and my writing gets better throughout the chapters!!! The first chapters are clingy, but it gets better<3

Everyone's going through something-but not everyone wears it like Hali does. She's 17, stuck in a body she's always trying to shrink, surrounded by people who are just as lost as she is. Her days are filled with pills she doesn't remember taking, mirrors she can't stand to look at, and a friend group that survives off drugs, trauma, and sarcasm. Drew's been around since forever and sees too much. Rico jokes through the pain. Alex barely speaks but somehow understands. And Hali? She's trying to pretend she's fine while quietly falling apart. This story isn't about healing. Not yet. It's about what it feels like to break in silence- and what happens when someone finally notices.Complete
Unnoticed
This is a true story one that's difficult to read... a simple story that talks about some hard things. It's a story about a girl and her mind. Most of you will stop and look away now, thinking that it will be boring, and I'm not going to stop you from walking away. It's your decision. Life is full of those. Decisions, choices that we make which each change the course of our life. I recommend you read this book. It's not your typical girl meets guy story. No it has nothing to do with that, but it does show you something that I think to humanity is more important than that, and truly I am not saying this because I am the author but if you read this book I don't think that it is one of the decisions you will regret in life. It isn't easy to read, so consider it a challenge in which you have nothing to lose if you participate. So I ask you, Why not participate? " I stared into the mirror and I knew; I simply knew what I was getting into. This was my decision. The one that decided to take my joy out of life. To suck it away, and I just watched. I just watched as my soul got carried away in the wind. I watched knowing that it was all the voice's fault. The monster that raged inside of me took control, and I again just watched as I let go of my grasp on it. It broke lose with a feral scream, and so that was when chaos begun..."Complete
