Interesting Topic

Our club found "The Girls at 17 Swann Street" really interesting. Most of us knew little to nothing about anorexia besides being vaguely aware of acquaintances we might have known who suffered from the disease. This should be required reading for anyone with a friend or family member affected by an eating disorder.
The characters were interesting and felt true to life and offered a realistic picture of the despair of the patients and their loved ones.
The author's writing style wasn't loved by everyone and was sometimes confusing as to whether the narrator was thinking or speaking, but overall it was a quick and easy read giving thoughtful insight about a topic many don't understand.
