Bøker av Allie McFarland

Cate is by all accounts normal--on the precipice of graduating college, she lives with her boyfriend, goes out with friends, works an unfulfilling grocery store job, and dreams of a better life. A better life that she thinks she will deserve once she has an enviably slim waistline. Setting herself on a dangerous path, and propelled forward by careless comments from those closest to her, Cate doesn't realise she needs help until it's almost too late. Told in four parts, Pretty Delicate is the story of a young woman's perseverance through her eating disorder and into something like recovery.

A mystery, a road novel, and a coming of age story. Blending past and present, the self and the other, this novel crosses genres and defies categorization to be met and addressed on its own terms. Fearless and vulnerable, unabashed and wounded, this is a story of the liminal places where expectations falter and the unexpected thrives.
