Kim: Empty Inside

Kim: empty inside is about a teenage girl that is suffering from an eating disorder. This book is another that is from an anonymous teenager diary. The story starts off from when life seems to being going okay for this teen, it is right before she graduates and goes off to college. But right from the beginning we see a little problem with her eating. It is as the story progresses and she moves to college with new people and harder classes and her family and friends aren't there with her anymore. She becomes stressed and deals with it by her food. In this book, we watch how a girl with everything going for her slowly destroys her life. It's a sad tale because of how true it is these days, but it is a really good story. I love how it doesn't seem like an actual book because it's in diary mode, it's more fun.

How does this compare with "Go Ask Alice?"

Reading a diary sounds so personal. It does sound fun.
