Imagine this; You have it all, good friends, food, a big house, but instead you want less. Much less. This is exactly what Echo wants, what she desires. She wants less fat, less flesh, all she wants to be is perfect, and her sense of perfect is looking like a skeleton. To get that, she must never eat and she must puke when she is forced to eat. Her friends are worried, her dad is worried, even her mother is actually feeling afraid for Echo. But to Echo, she's doing all this for a good cause. For a gothic fashion show that is coming up, Echo is ready to reduce herself. Can she save herself, see herself before it's too late? Or will this sicken her to nothing? Find out in Echo.
Opinion:
I enjoyed this book very much. I love each and everyone of the characters, they each have their own wonderful personalities that is just great. I hate Calli, the whole time she is mentioned. I just wanted to jump in the story and slap her for being a terrible mother. How can a mom make her daughter feel useless and unloved? Makes her feel like her mother only wants to see her screw something up. When Echo does something great, her mother makes fun of her with something else. I believe the cause of Echo wanting to loose so much weight is because of her mother always saying she got so fat during Christmas that she believes Echo will never loose it. Now look at Calli; your daughter is starving herself because of you. I truly believe that this is a good lesson for all girls and boys who think that they are not perfect cause of their weight. There are so many people who do this; stop eating and then pukes themselves to get rid of any food; it's sickening. Can't you see that you're beautiful just the way you are? We all change in life, we just need to accept that and enjoy our lives.
