This was
another great and important story by Anderson. She has the exceptional skill of
writing on timeless relevant topics that ultimate can affect every teen
themselves or someone they know. Although some may find the competition aspect
of the disease unrealistic, I believe it can happen. Besides the well know case
of the pregnancy pact in Massachusetts, there have also been suicide pacts. A
competition between friends to out-skinny each other isn’t so unrealistic. The
one thing that bothered me was Lia’s little sister, Emma, she acted more like a
4 year old then a 9 year old. Although she was a very minor character in the scheme
of things, it was annoying to me.
