As a teacher in highschool I think it is a very important book, as it is dealing with 2 subjects: bulimia ans sexuality. I am sorry it is not translated to Hebrew so I could recomend it to people here in Israel.

1/2 Bulimia -- 1/2 Sexuality
I was disappointed with this book as I did not realize it was about lesbian sexuality as well as bulimia. However what really rubbed me wrong was the author's preface stating that all bulimics are not "fat" -- the main character, Liza, struggles to keep her weight below 140. Strike One.

1/2 Bulimia -- 1/2 Sexuality,
By A Customer
This review is from: Good Enough to Eat (Paperback)
I was disappointed with this book as I did not realize it was about lesbian sexuality as well as bulimia. However what really rubbed me wrong was the author's preface stating that all bulimics are not "fat" -- the main character, Liza, struggles to keep her weight below 140. Strike One. Then just as you start to get into Liza's eating disorder the book flips and the focus switches to Liza deciding that she is a lesbian. Suddenly she deals with that just as we are getting into the turmoils and mood swings of a bulimic. Strike 2. Basically the end message I took away from this book is that if you admit your a lesbian within a week and a half your eating disorder will be "cured", you will discover a caring lover and you will love yourself. Strike 3.This book may be good for discussion groups but as a read for personal information regarding the struggles that a bulimic actually goes through I would not reccommend "Good Enough To Eat".
