Wintergirls Blog 3

The book I have started reading is called Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson. Wintergirls is a story of Lia, an 18 year old girl who suffers from anorexia. All her negative thoughts about her body and her life are increased when she finds out her best friend, Cassie dies. Lia later finds out that Cassie attempted to call her 33 times the same night she died. But Lia did not answer since she had no clue that Cassie was calling her because she was in trouble. Investigators do not know yet how Cassie died but they were predicting that she might have committed suicide on overdosed pills or she might have hung herself. Lia now lives with the haunting of Cassie. Literally everywhere Lia goes, she can hear Cassie calling her, waiting for Lia's turn to commit the same incident.

This book is something very different from what I have read in the past. The book is written in a poem-like way which makes the book ten times more interesting. In my opinion, the book by far is fascinating in ways that the author attracts you to the reading. I also like that the story is written in a poem style and you have to deeply read between the words to understand the story.
