Unable to live and unable to die Lia is frozen. With the death of her former childhood friend Lia's already self-destructive actions and mental state plummets into freezing conditions. Anderson's vivid and poetic writing will make her readers feel the crippling disgust Lia feels every time she eats, every time she counts a calorie and every time she cuts. Unable to see how much her actions are hurting her perplexed family, Lia drags them down until she touches the bottom of her icy cage. Anderson's complex characters and beautifully disturbing realism will bring her readers to the tragic reality of Lia's mind.
