Good Girls
A BEST BOOK OF 2023 IN THE TIMES, GUARDIAN AND WALL STREET JOURNAL
A searing memoir from Hadley Freeman, bestselling author of House of Glass, about one of the most misunderstood mental illnesses.
A gripping story – Financial Times In Good Girls, Freeman does more than just recount her personal sufferings and triumphs. She delves deep into the socio-cultural factors that complicate our understanding of anorexia and other eating disorders. Drawing from extensive research and interviews, she paints a broader picture that goes beyond the confines of her own experiences. This blend of personal narrative and investigative journalism not only educates but also seeks to dismantle the stereotypes and stigma surrounding mental illness. Throughout the memoir, Freeman's voice remains strikingly authentic and unflinchingly honest. Her ability to confront her past with such bravery turns her story into an inspiring testament to resilience and recovery. The reader is taken on a compelling journey, filled with moments of despair and hope, ultimately leading to a powerful message of healing and self-acceptance. Whether you are seeking a better understanding of eating disorders, or simply drawn to authentic and emotive storytelling, Good Girls is an essential read. Celebrate Freeman's work and the courage it took to share her story, a story that is as enlightening as it is touching.
