β¦ Synopsis
This heartfelt, captivating novel chronicles a year in the life of 14-year-old Max as he struggles with anorexia.
Dear Ana,
Some days are normal. Some days, everything is OK, and I eat three square meals, pretty much, even if those squares are ridiculously small squares.
Some days, I can almost pretend there's nothing wrong.
Fourteen-year-old Max doesn't like to eat, and the only one he can confess his true feelings to is Anaβ-also known as his eating disorder, anorexia. In a journal that his therapist makes him keep, he tells Ana his unfiltered thoughts and fears while also keeping track of his food intake. But Ana's presence has leapt off the page and into his head, as she feeds upon all of his fears and amplifies them.
When Max's older brother Robin gives him a geocache box, it becomes a safe place where Max stores his journal, but someone finds it and starts writing to him, signing it with "E." Is it a joke?...
