(2) YA After her brother dies, seventeen-year-old Stevie is overwhelmed by grief and a worsening eating disorder. She aspires to waste away by the anniversary of Josh's death, but a month before her deadline, Stevie's dad sends her to an eating disorder clinic. Stevie narrates with an intimate, poetic voice; deftly integrated flashbacks gradually reveal her backstory. Her nascent recovery feels honest and well-earned.
