Wintergirls blog 4

Lia continues to suffer from her daily negative thoughts about her body. The persistent act of her seeing Cassie's ghost in her life terrifies her. One night, she was going to get her sleeping pills and she over heard her stepmom and her dad discussing about her. Jennifer mentions that Lia's real mother, Chloe, has been trying to get Lia to have a sleepover at her house. Jennifer also mentions that Chloe feels like Lia is not truly recovering by living at her father's house. For this, Lia gets very shocked for the fact that her mother is planning to take her back and doesn't know what to decide. 

The conflict in this book so far has been Man vs. Self. Lia the main character has faced her herself in many battles. From her school problems to her personal problems at home. "I was a good girl because I didn't poke holes in my skin or write depressing poetry and I ate and ate." This sentence from the book explains how Lia thinks on a negative note about her past body and suffers daily about thinking she is still the same.
