OLDER FICTION

Girls under Pressure

(3) YA Girls 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.
