Wintergirls
I read Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson in one sitting. And cried.
Any of the other novelistic treatments of anorexia/bulemia that I've ever read--the latest being Purge, by Sarah Darer Littman--are instruction manuals for imitators and studies in morbid fascination for casual bystanders.
Wintergirls makes you feel it.
Here's a more complete review, since I've been left so speechless.
