Commentary Conducive To Books Letting Ana Go
In the tradition of Go Ask Alice and Lucy in the Sky, a harrowing account of anorexia and addiction.She was a good girl from a good family, with everything she could want or need. But below the surface, she felt like she could never be good enough. Like she could never live up to the expectations that surrounded her. Like she couldn’t do anything to make a change.
But there was one thing she could control completely: how much she ate. The less she ate, the better—stronger—she felt.
But it’s a dangerous game, and there is such a thing as going too far…
Her innermost thoughts and feelings are chronicled in the diary she left behind.

Full disclosure: I only read this because I recently re-read Go Ask Alice and wanted to see if this could be as bad. Spoiler: Close, but not quite.Aside from the middle-aged-woman-trying-to-sound-like-a-teen problem, there was the hey-I-read-a-magazine-article-on-anorexia-so-I'm-qualified-to-write-a-book-about-it issue. Bad. Just bad.Also, it included enough detail to be triggering without having enough depth to be helpful.Other minor notes: this is a lot more modern of a story than Go AskThis book was good in terms with educating people about anorexia, however I think it lacked something in its format. I've read the previous books in the series (Go Ask Alice, Jay's Journal, & Lucy in The Sky) and they all share the same basic format of a diary written by an anonymous teen. While the other three (especially the former two) do a good job of making you believe you're actually reading a diary, this one falls short. It seems more like just bad writing. You could definitely see
To be honest I don't know where to start about this book. Just the fact that it was written by an anonymous authour just makes you so much more intrigued to read it. I myself have struggled with anorexia nervosa since the age of 11 and just seeing that what I felt and thought happens to a lot of people sure made me feel like I wasn't the odd one out. Unlike many things that revolve around the topic of anorexia, such as blog posts, this book was not triggering at all. If anything, it made me feel
This is my first Anonymous book, having never read any of the other similar books published in the previous years (Go Ask Alice, Lucy in the Sky or Jays Journal). LETTING ANA GO is the diary of a 16-year-old girl chronicling how a simple task of keeping a food journal for track turned into an uncontrollable obsession to be thin. At the beginning of each journal entry Ana jots down her weight trying to retain the daily suggested 2,200 calories intake. As the story progresses, Anas best friend
As a girl who has struggled with bulimia before, this book opened my eyes.. well, at the same time, it also triggered me a bit, and for a while, made me go back to me being obsessed with my body weight, but this book is good. It's actually realistic unlike "Go Ask Alice"
I have a love-hate relationship with this book.The book is very well written and obviously composed by someone with first hand views of an eating disorder's effect. Though at times, the symptoms of the main character are like many other novels surrounding anorexia - textbook examples. This is where the book is slightly unrealistic. Not every patient displays every symptom known to EDs. However, it remains that this book, especially when focusing on the family's reaction, is disturbingly
Fairly trashy, but not as bad as I thought it might be based on the awful title, cover, and some of the reviews.Clearly in the tradition of Go Ask Alice (a book which fascinated me as a teenager, though is pretty bad in retrospect), right down to the anonymous diary format, unnamed narrator, and metaphorical girls name in the title. The refusal to name the protagonist annoyed me - I get that its meant to be an anonymous diary, though I doubt anyone actually believes this, but they couldve given
