Perfect

Perfect is by Natasha Friend. Isabelle's father has died and her family is in complete disarray. Her mother does nothing but cry. Natasha copes by forcing herself to throw up after bingeing on food. When her little sister rats her out, Isabella must go to therapy. There she is amazed to find the most popular girl in her school. She and Ashley bond even as they keep each other's guilty secret. Will their friendship help them or will it only make things worse. A realistic look at the effect eating disorders have on teens.

Ratings: 9th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
