YAGirls series.
When her thin best friend is picked for modeling tryouts, British teen Ellie goes on an extreme diet, even forcing herself to throw up. Surviving her sort-of boyfriend's brush-off and supporting her friends through their own troubles helps Ellie find her feet again. This sequel to Girls in Love is a realistic, friend-focused portrayal that avoids the obvious case-study aspects of similar books.
