| Description | Just looking at Katie Roskova you'd think she had it all: she was pretty popular an A-student at an exclusive private school and on her way to becoming a champion figure skater. But there was another Katie--the one she hid from the world--who was having trouble dealing with the mounting pressures of her young life. And it was this Katie who with no other means of expression available to her reacted to her overbearing mother her absent father her unforgiving schedule and her oblivious classmates by turning her self-doubt into self-hatred. And into self-mutilation. In his previous novel The Best Little Girl in the World Steven Levenkron brought insight expertise and sensitivity to the painful subject of anorexia nervosa. Now he applies these same talents to demystifying a condition that is just as heartbreaking and becoming more common everyday. Through his depiction of Katie's self-mutilating behavior--she is called "a cutter" by her peers--and her triumphant road to recovery he offers a compelling profile of a young girl in trouble and much-needed hope to the growing numbers who suffer from this shocking syndrome. |

I read thisbook when I was really fighting with SI and - it really hit home. I cried and cried when they found out about her. But after I finished the book I decided it was time for me to come out,and I did. That was two years ago and I still battle with it everyday but ya know what? It gets easier.

This book was extremely good, i sort of had a connection with katie, because she was pressured by her mom and stuff. i thought it was so sad at the end since she had her first ever b-day party...i mean she is 16! that is not right! everyone should read this book, to show you that you don't need to be a "freak" to cut.

Amazing
This book is amazing. It truly depicts the daily struggle of a cutter trying to play it off as if everything is okay. The deeper you get into the book to more you realize Katie is a reflection of yourself...If only we all had the strength to stick with therapy.
