About this audiobook
The New York Times best-selling story of a friendship frozen between life and death.
Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in fragile bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the thinnest. But then Cassie suffers the ultimate loss — her life — and Lia is left behind, haunted by her friend's memory and racked with guilt for not being able to help save her.
In her most powerfully moving novel since Speak, award-winning author Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia's struggle, her painful path to recovery, and her desperate attempts to hold on to the most important thing of all: hope.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Harrowing, often hard to read, and yet so beautiful. This story of pain is simply timeless. the narration is incredible too!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is a hard review for me. I appreciated everything that was depicted in this book and HOW it was depicted. It was so well rounded and you felt everything that Lia was experiencing. BUT this just was not my cup of tea, 7 hours spent in a very disturbed mind was exhausting.
