Product Description

“Dead girl walking,” the boys say in the halls.
“Tell us your secret,” the girls whisper, one toilet to another.
I am that girl.
I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through.
I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelain frame.


Lia and Cassie were best friends, wintergirls frozen in matchstick bodies.
But now Cassie is dead. Lia’s mother is busy saving other people’s lives.
Her father is away on business. Her stepmother is clueless. And the voice inside Lia’s head keeps telling her to remain in control, stay strong, lose more, weigh less. If she keeps on going this way – thin, thinner, thinnest – maybe she’ll disappear altogether.

In her most emotionally wrenching, lyrically written book since the National Book Award finalist Speak, best-selling author Laurie Halse Anderson explores one girl’s chilling descent into the all-consuming vortex of anorexia.


Winner of the Margaret A. Edwards Award 2009

5.0étoiles sur 5 Courtesy of Teens Read Too, Janv. 3 2009
This review is from: Wintergirls (Hardcover)
Chilling. Even many days after reading WINTERGIRLS, I still shiver when I think about this book.

Lia has struggled with an eating disorder before. Her parents think that she is getting better, but she is just fooling everyone. When Cassie, who used to be her best friend, dies, Lia spirals out of control again.

She eats less and less and begins seeing Cassie's ghost everywhere.

WINTERGIRLS explores the world of eating disorders with vivid, horrifying detail.

Even though this book was really creepy, it was also spectacular. I had never understood how or why some people began to have eating disorders, and this book gave a spectacular insight into their state of mind.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A powerful and intense read, Déc 22 2009
This review is from: Wintergirls (Hardcover)
Finding the line between a good storyline and a non-romantic exposition of eating disorders is tough, but Anderson succeeded there. She did a beautiful job with Lias voice. The writing felt original and very close to her, in a way that made me feel like I could understand, at least partly, what she was going through. She also makes a great use of the language as an object itself, striking through words, repeating some, creating a prose that illustrates the conflicts Lia is having.

The fact that I understood Lias feelings didnt mean I liked her though. She seemed at times very selfish, caring about no one but herself, and I say that knowing that she had a lot on her mind. I also get that eating disorders are a type of mental illness, and that it controls ones life. For some reason though, I couldnt relate to Lia very much. Only with her little sister, Emma, did I feel some kind of connection that made her more human to me. The ending was also good on that point, although it came really late in the book and was a little rushed.

On the other hand though, maybe Lias personality was exactly the point of the book. If you have had in your life someone who has dealt with similar issues, you might know how after some time, their problems eat them up and they become those problems. They close themselves to the world because they cant deal, they push people away until those who love them cant stand them anymore (or have a hard time to). Lia is like that : her issues take so much place that its all that she is. Her parents have a hard time with her, and as readers, so do we. While I would usually put an unlikable character as a fault, in this case, Im not so sure. Hence the conflicted feelings towards the book.

Wintergirls is not a comfortable read. It is disturbing and intense, which is good (in a way) since reading about anorexia shouldnt be like a walk in the park. Andersons writing was perfect for the task : dark, gripping, the story hooked me from the first page and I couldnt stop until I reached the end.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A little scary, an awesome read., Juil 28 2009
Par Vanessa M. Dow "Vanessa D" (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Wintergirls (Hardcover)
Wintergirls is the chilling depiction of a mind in the grip of severe, advanced, anorexia. But in the end, it's not really about eating disorders. It's about Lia facing her guilt over her friend's death and searching for her own reason to want to live. Lia is lost, adrift in her own self-loathing and ambivalence about her family and her future. You cannot help but be touched by this beautiful, talented girl, who nonetheless so hates her own existence that she's trying to disappear.
