Summary:
Meg is blogging about her sister. She has a tough life living in her sister's shadow. Her sister is popular with an amazing boyfriend. All Meg has is her very best blog friends. Things seem to change though when her sister begins losing a lot of weight and hiding something. Chronicling the life of her sister dealing with anorexia and then being sent away and coming back with bulimia, Meg attempts to put the sister rivalry behind and help her sister before it's too late.
My thoughts:
This is the second book of the Bloggrls series. I enjoyed it a lot more than the first book. Most of this is because of Meg. Meg is a great protagonist. She's not as self absorbed and is clearly dealing with issues of her own self image. Her descriptions of her sister clear change from the beginning to the end of the book. Other than the physical change, she also notices the human side of her sister. It's like the two of them are just realizing that the other isn't the annoying stereotype they once believed. The growth between the two sisters is the highlight of the novel. It's really about how to save one another when bad things happen. I liked the message and I liked how realistic the fight with an eating disorder is displayed. It is not as easy as just going to the hospital and everything is fixed.
