Everything

Nothing by Robin Friedman shares the story of a young man battling an eating disorder. The book is split with both Parker, the main character, sharing his side of things, and also with Danielle, his little sister sharing her perspective. Easy, quick read. Liked finding a book about eating disorders that had a male character as males are often overlooked in this disorder. I enjoyed that the character was Jewish as well though I did feel a little too much explanation was given, ie the author explains several terms especially in the beginning. Maybe because I knew them I thought it was silly to be explaining but even so in any other novel your not going to get an explanation of "Christmas" or "baptism" While I appreciated the authors efforts I thought it was a bit unfair. If someone wanted to know what one of the terms meant the reader should have to go look it up. I think too I am forgetting the book is meant for a teen audience and perhaps it was better to have the explanations in...

Anyways, good read on a subject you often don't hear a male perspective on.
