I just read 'How to Build a Girl' by Caitlin Moran - it is ****ing hilarious, I would highly recommend if you need some light reading.
Then I read 'Crazy as Chocolate' by Elisabeth Hyde, which mostly enjoyed.
Now I'm not sure what to read next.
"I know you're sad, so I won't tell you to have a good day. Instead, I advise you to simply have a day.
Stay alive, feed yourself well, wear comfortable clothes, and don't give up on yourself just yet.
It'll get better. Until then, have a day."
wintergirls by laurie halse anderson. it's kind of a trigger book, it's about a girl who has an eating disorder, and her friend, who also had an eating disorder, had just died, and lia (the main character) is struggling with her own eating disorder and self harm.
i like it because it's intense and poetic.

I've read it. I actually somehow ended up with two copies of it, I guess I liked it enough to but it twice! I gave one copy away when I realised.

I'm reading Salty Baby by Orla Tinsley now. She's an Irish campaigner for cystic fibrosis.
I love how it's possible to tweet authors now, it's great. I generally find authors most likely to reply than other celebrities etc.

Just read that and it was gripping. I totally know what you mean, the language really helped you understand the visceral, intense pain that Lia was in.
I agree that it is very triggering so please please be careful if you're deciding to read it everyone.
You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you wish to make.
I started reading Marine Corps Draftee by Eddie Nickels. It's a pretty interesting story about his point of view from being a civilian and becoming a marine.
