Being Sixteen Allyson Braithwaite Condie 9781606412336 Books

I ordered this book not expecting much. This would be the typical 16 year old drama everyone faces and you wouldn't need a book to read about it. But I needed another allison condie book for an author project at school, so I gave it a try. This book is MUCH better than her matched series. It did not take a long time for the plot to really heat up. I could not put it down. It really did pass my expectations. The emotion is so raw in this book, youreally feel everything the family feels in response to Carly's bullimia. Yes,I admit,even I cried! (That says alot!) This book does have some religous references in it, but if your somebody who skips church more often then going like me you still understand it. All in all, this definitely makes my top 15 list!

The first time I saw this book on the shelf at Deseret Book I have to admit I put it back. I just wasn't sure I was ready to read another book dealing with eating disorders. Then after reading Matched I decided I wanted to delve into more of Ally's past titles. Being Sixteen resonated with me on so many levels. It hit deep within my core. It's one of my top three favorite books of 2010. I truly believe sometimes stories come into our lives at just the right time. I found myself in tears several times while reading. It breathes truth and hope. Allyson Condie takes on eating disorders with grace and style. Her voice is poetic, and real. Here's one of my favorite passages from Juliet, who struggles with isolation and disappointment in the wake of her sister's disorder.

"On one level I was ashamed of how weak I was, of how I'd do anything to avoid feeling hurt. But on another level I felt almost strong, a little proud of the way I'd cut off the parts of my life that made me feel too much sadness." p. 124

This is a book I would wholeheartedly recommend to every Young Woman I know as well as her parents. Many crucial facets of diagnosis, treatment and the long road to recovery from anorexia and bulimia are addressed. Two sister's struggles and growing pains are woven beautifully into the pages showing that even those from strong functional families have life altering problems.

Being Sixteen explores the effects of an eating disorder on loved ones and family as well as how easily faith in Heavenly Father can dim, to later be rekindled. Thank you so much to Deseret Book for sending me this book for review. It is one that I will forever remember. Five stars plus.
Fast Shipping. Item arrived as described and expected. No complaints.
This book was amazingly powerful. It's like all the memories you want to have when your just turning sixteen and some of the ones you don't, but better. Even though her sister had an eating disorder they still had that powerful sisterly connection that you always want to have with a sister.
