I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through.
Lia and Cassie were best friends. But something went wrong and Cassie changed. Now Cassie is dead and Lia has thirty-three unanswered calls on her phone, thirty-three messages from her ex-best friend, all sent the day she died.
How did she die? Why did she cut herself off?
While Lia searches for answers, she drives herself relentlessly down her own path to destruction—to be thin, strong, in control. And completely empty.
Wintergirls is a powerful but intimate story of one girl’s chilling descent into the all-consuming vortex of anorexia.
Praise for Wintergirls:
‘Beautiful, heartbreaking and hopeful. Lia’s voice is exquisite.’
— Melina Marchetta
‘A devastating portrait of the extremes of self-deception… Laurie Halse Anderson illuminates a dark but utterly realistic world.’
— Booklist
