Hmm...Gravity Journal.
I just finished reading "Gravity Journal". I thought it was pretty good. I didn't really like some of the language used in the story, and I found some parts to be a bit graphic, but I felt that overall it was good. It shows how people with these types of disorders feel, live, and think, and also shows change for the better. We see Anise at her worst in the beginning, but she slowly heals and becomes a better person with more self-esteem and confidence with the help of so many trusted friends and examples. I think that really brings out the message "You are never alone", "There's always hope", and "Every cloud has a silver lining". Those are pretty strong messages that I think most of us need at some point or another. The author showed these messages so effectively and well. I also liked how the narration switched from 1st person to 3rd person, and how some of Anise's writing was shown. This book may be one of my considerations for my vote.
