"She offered herself to the big bad wolf and didn't scream when he took the first bite." -Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson

This girl shivers and crawls under the covers with all her clothes on and falls into an overdue library book, a faerie story with rats and marrow and burning curses. The sentences build a fence around her, a Times Roman 10-point barricade, to keep the thorny voices in her head from getting too close.

Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls

I knew what he wanted to hear. He couldn't stand me being sick. Nobody can. They only want to hear that you're healing, you're in recovery, taking it one day at a time. If you're locked into sick, you should stop wasting their time and just get dead.

So she tells me, the words dribbling out with the cranberry muffin crumbs, commas dunked in her coffee.

In one aspect, yes, I believe in ghosts; but we create them. We haunt ourselves.

“You’d think,

that when we took a blade

to our skin

we’d be in a panic;

crying, hyperventilating, sobbing uncontrollably.

But really,

when we feel our skin

split in two

Is when we feel

the most calm.”

#anon #asks #there are so many more quotes i could've used #probably missed out some really good ones as well #but here you go 🤍

[fiction-quotes]

She almost went to a doctor two years ago. The stuffing/puking/stuffing/puking/stuffing/puking didn't make her skinny, it made her cry. Her coach bumped her down to the JV soccer squad because she couldn't run fast enough. The drama teacher told her that she wasn't “shining” bright enough so she didn't get the lead in the play.

“I can't stop, but I can't keep going,” she told me. “Nothing works.”

I totally supported her. I looked up the names of docs and clinics. I e-mailed her recovery Web sites.

And I sabotaged every step.

I told her how strong she was and how healthy she was going to be and how proud I was of her and I dropped in how many calories I ate that day, the magic number on the scale, the number of inches around my thighs. We went to the mall and I made sure we used the same dressing room so she could see my skeleton shine in the fluorescent blue light. We went to the food court and she ordered cheese fries, chicken nuggets, and a salad. I drank black coffee and licked artificial sweetener from the palm on my hand. She asked me to guard the door while she puked lunch into the dirty mall toilet.

We held hands when we walked down the gingerbread path into the forest, blood dripping from our fingers. We danced with witches and kissed monsters. We turned us into wintergirls, and when she tried to leave, I pulled her back into the snow because I was afraid to be alone.

ED Book Review #2–Wintergirls

SUMMARY: after the death of her ex-best-friend, Lia Overbrook deals with her-oft ignored-grief and anorexia relapse while living with her somewhat estranged father, his wife and their young daughter

REVIEW: I honestly don’t like this book much. I don’t even like Laurie Halse Anderson as an author in general. Her style’s never clicked with me. With Wintergirls It’s another one I mostly only like for the nostalgia. I first read it when I was 12 and it was probably the first ED centric book I ever read. I loved it when I first read it and can still remember sneaking onto the PDF I’d downloaded of it on my school computer when I was supposed to be doing class work back in 7th grade but even though I actually reread it every autumn, I’d actually only give it maybe a 2.5/5

Favorite quote: OMG THIS IS SO BASIC BUT I LOVE THE “you’re not dead but you’re not alive, you’re a wintergirl” thing and the whole “I made us into wintergirls and when she tried to leave I pulled her back into the show because I was scared of being alone” thing (my copy of the book has been practically destroyed so even tho I wanna look through and find quotes idk if I really can do these are from memory)

this quote from wintergirls is killing me

[t3ll-m3-whats-wr0ng-w1th-m3]

dear luna,

here are some quotes i liked recently.

"you deserve the father you thought you had"

- love, simon

"we accept the love we think we deserve"

-the perks of being a wallflower

" breathe in slowly. food is life. i exhale, take another breath. food is life. and that's the problem. when you're alive, people can hurt you."

and

"i'm angry that i starved my brain and that i sat shivering in my bed at night instead of dancing or reading poetry or eating ice cream or kissing a boy or maybe a girl with gentle lips and strong hands."

- wintergirls
