(4) YA Jack, sixteen and anorexic, is the newest patient in a residential unit for teenagers with eating disorders. Jack channels the energy he usually reserves for over-exercising and hiding food into intense relationships with his stoner roommate and a troubled, secretive ballerina. Although Jack's eventual recovery feels rushed and unsubstantiated, many teens will connect with the drama of his loaded friendships.
