‘Up at the top, the lights are still flashing and the queue is even bigger and all around me there are girls much taller than me, much prettier than me, much much much thinner than me.’

And Ellie…well, Ellie is convinced she’s fat.

The pressure is on for the girls to change the way they look – but can they learn to love themselves the way they are?

This book features an unfiltered depiction of an eating disorder.
