A BEST BOOK OF 2023 IN THE TIMES, GUARDIAN AND WALL STREET JOURNAL
From Hadley Freeman, bestselling author of House of Glass, comes a searing memoir about her experience with anorexia, and her long journey to full recovery.
From the ages of fourteen to seventeen, Freeman lived in psychiatric wards after developing anorexia nervosa. For the next twenty years, she grappled with various forms of self-destructive behaviour as the anorexia mutated and persisted.
Anorexia is one of the most widely discussed but least understood mental illnesses. In a brilliant narrative that combines personal experience with deep reporting on the issues around the illness, Freeman details her experiences with anorexia, and how she overcame it.
Good Girls is an honest and hopeful story that will be profoundly helpful for those who suffer from an eating disorder, and those who desperately want to understand them.

Great book!! Unbelievable the way she described her life with an eating disorder: sad,raw and real. It gives insight in how anorexia present itself. In an honest way and also intwined with facts and research. For professionals as wel as people who have to do with an eating disorder: a must read!

Indrukwekkend boek waarin de schrijfster reflecteert op anorexia in haar leven en hoe dat samenhangt met normen en verwachtingen waar vrouwen in onze samenleving mee geconfronteerd worden. Engelstalig, maar zeer duidelijk en mooi voorgelezen.
