This is the sequal to the book, The Best Little girl in the world.

In this book Kessa is released from the hospital and tries (with the help of Sandy Sherman) to get on with her life. She meets two new friends, one an anorexia just like she use to be. She begans to try new things like, going out to bars to meet boys and eating dinner with her friends, things she would never do when she had anorexia. Her friend, Deirdre ends up dying and Kessa has to go through the pain of her death thinking that it was her fault that she died because Kessa couldn't help her.

At the end of the book, Kessa is cured of her anorexia, goes on a shopping spree with her mother's credit card and finally gets a boyfriend.

Anyone

The end of the book. I like how Kessa goes on a shopping spree at Bloomingdales, makes a new friend (Dennie) and finds a boyfriend (Brian).

The flashbacks, they were very confusing.

Read it again. Steven Levenkron should write a third book on Kessa, like how Kessa gets married and has children. Maybe Steven Levenkron should update this book, it was written in the 80s. Nobody listens to this music and wears the type of clothing described in the book anymore.

Happy! I'm glad Kessa got over her illness.
