My eating disorders were never as bad as hers, but they were life-threatening at times (just not as dramatically, I guess!). I found the book compelling in many ways because of the accuracy of portrayal; you can tell she isn't bullshitting. I did think there was some self-aggrandizement, but she was, what, 20 when she wrote it? I'll be reading the new book as well. If nothing else it'll be interesting reading! I really liked Wasted too.

My own eating disorders were not that life threatening but to ome they were just as serious because I was struggling with them. Wasted made me feel like I am not alone. Seriously, because I felt nothing but alone before. I read a lot of books and can never remmber the particulars of what I’ve read but what I do remember about Wasted was that it blew me away.
