Gretchen Wyatt is a 17 year old who is dealing with Bulimia.Gretchen is 5 foot 6 inches tall and weighs a whopping 92 pounds on a good day, and 96 pounds on a bad day. She is in love with Harley Cameron, who just so happens to be her older brother's best friend. During the summer she is sent to The Hills Residential Eating Disorder Recovery Center.
This book focuses on a teenage girl name Gretchen, who is forced into treatment for her eating disorder by her father during the summer. She makes friends with some of the other patients, (and enemies with others maybe? I haven't decided yet..) and decided that she wants to recover and be happy, all throughout the book she is chasing after her childhood crush Harley.
I'm not the best writer and I also mainly write at 12 am-5 am so bear with me.
I have never finished more than a page when I try to write a book / novel / whatever, so hopefully I'll finish this.

The Way We Get By
Boys don't have eating disorders. Those are only for vain, teenage girls. Not for Alex. Alex Rivera doesn't know why he started counting calories or why he's addicted to stepping on the scale. He just knows it's what he needs to do. His parents don't understand, and neither does his twin brother - the hotshot player of the school. His little sister doesn't get it. His fucking pet lizard doesn't get it. None of them understand how, a family so happy and so healthy, could've festered this disorder. A disorder that's taken everything from Alex. As the heartbreaking secrets unfold and Alex's disorder is brought under the microscope, the Riveras must find a way to get by, even through the impossibility of Alex's eating disorder, a molestation charge, and the realization that pain isn't always clear-cut and obvious. Told through multiple point of views, The Way We Get By shines a light on the often ignored side of mental health and eating disorders, and it shows that with a little love, humor, and sacrifice, absolutely anything is possible. - - Highest Ranks: |#1| - ednos |#1| - disorder |#1| - mentalillness |#2| - eating |#3| - recoveryComplete

THE WEIGHT GAME EDITED VERSION
This is the edited version of my book The Weight Game that I wrote when I was 13-15. Aubrey has always been the ultimate target for bullies at her school. All she wants is to be good enough for once in her life. What happens when she goes online and finds a website called 'the weight game' where it teaches people quick ways to shed weight? and she takes the tips that tell her to fast, and purge? Never put someone down, because it will never help you reach the top. And never call a person fat, because you never know what they will do in order to prove you wrong.
