5.0 out of 5 stars A Great And Inspirational Book For Girls Everywhere., March 1, 2001

This review is from: The Me Nobody Knew: A Story of Triumph for All Girls (Single Titles) (Paperback)

I picked up this book, because I saw it had something to do with an eating disorder. While suffering with anorexia and bulimia, I decided to read the book out of interest. Actually, the book was not just about an eating disorder. It was so much more than that! The author writes about her life, starting from her early teen years, to where she is now. She lived through years of depression, alcohol, and more. The writing is excellent. I could relate to what she wrote so much, it felt like she was me. She wrote about how her relationship with her parents changed drasticaly, and how she would go out with just about any guy just to remain 'popular'. The book has different sub titles, and its great. Towards the end of the book, after she is raped, Shannon decides to change her life around and love her self, her family, and life a lot more. She really inspired me, she says that no one should have to live up to anything anyone else tells them to. That there is no 'perfect body', and there is a partner out there for everyone. She has triggered me to try my best at recovery, and find my true self, as corny or cliche as it sounds. I highly reccomend this powerful novel!

If you are depressed and looking for the light well read "The Me Nobody Knew", it is about a girl who hates her parent,hates her body hates her life,hates every thing. she slowly finds out the world is not all as bad as she thought and uncovers the peace and love in the world she never knew about. even though she was sexually assulted,critsized by her friends and nearly starved her self to death she still lives on to be the best out there..
