Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia

I did not enjoy the writing style of this book. I felt that there was a lot of side-tracking, repetitiveness and unnecessarily detailed descriptions (no need to describe a bedside glass of water as lukewarm - twice - everybody's familiar with the concept of room temperature water).

The pace of the narrative was at times numbingly slow, at times chaotic. Countless cliffhangers felt annoying: “that's when I went crazy” and then pages later “that's when I went very crazy”.

Overall I found the story very interesting, but it could've been delivered much more condensed, and instead I could've read more about recovery.
