![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even after Elisa loses some weight and doesn't need to shove food down her gullet 24/7 to stave off headaches and fatigue, the story still revolves around her meals. And when she's not eating, she's thinking about her next meal or about what she had the day before. You will hear about the food she eats and the sweets she craves so often that you'll start to wonder if you're reading a thinly veiled advertisement instead, or if this book was sponsored by the coconut or lamb industry. It sounds like the beginning of a compelling story, but ultimately Elisa only proves her worthiness by changing everything about herself. Elisa is overweight, unsure of herself, overshadowed by her prettier and skinnier sister, and chosen for something she's not sure she's worthy of. It's disappointing, really, because I think Carson was attempting to create a heroine that many girls could relate to. If you caught even just a couple of my updates I think it would've been plainly obvious that I didn't enjoy this book. ![]()
