faded denim
I thought this was a great book...it is very helpful on the subject "love who you are". I would recommend it, Melody Carlson writes from what is true (as far as I can tell). I am a thirteen year-old girl and I'm not HUGE on reading, but I would recommend this (right beside the ~TWILIGHT~ saga) . =)

Hey!
I used to not eat my lunch at school for awhile to prove to my friends that I'm not unhealthily skinny. Pretty soon I thought that I was anorexic because I couldn't force myself to eat anymore. Then my mom told me the difference, telling me that people who are anorexic are trying to lose weight, like the character, Emily. Then I realized that I was just being stupid and began eating again. This book did make me think of a cousin of mine who was not anorexic, but would not eat and she had to be taken to the hospital and put on an I.V. forcing food into her system, I believe.

Awesome
This book was truly amazing. I found out a lot about anorexia and bulimia that I didn't know. This information came at the right time because I have a couple of friends who deal with anorexia. I usually don't like reading, but I really loved this book and can't wait to read the others.

I am so AMAZED!!!!
It takes a lot for me to get interested in a book. I never would have thought that I would be interested in this kind of book. I really love all of the true color series books that she has written. if you have not read these books and the Diary of Teenage Girl series you do not know what you have missed. she really knows the life of a teenage girl.

WOW!!
Melody Carlson can write books that are so amazingly easy to relate to!!! I often look in the mirror and hate what I see. I'm not overweight, but I don't feel skinny enough to even begin to fit in with the girls in my church youth group. I've really been thinking about anorexia lately. At suppper tonight before I had began to read the book I threw away pretty much all of my food even though I was still extremely hungry. This book has really changed my mind on the whole anorexia thing. So thank you so much Melody for such an awesome book!!!! You are truly a gifted writer!!!

What A Blessing
Hi! I'm Susan and I'm 19. I have not read this book yet but am looking forward to it. I've read many of Melody's books and have loved every one I've read. This book caught my eye because of the subject it is speaking on. I have a sister in law that I suspect is anorexic. I know that this book will give me some insights and I plan on buying the whole series and giving them to my sis-n-law. Thank You Melody Carlson!! God has given you an amazing talent!! God Bless You!!

Top Notch Book
this book is awsome, it really helped me, i was suffering with bulimia and didnt want to admit it to myself, and it felt like loads of hints were being droped, like, i was doin about it in school, (first hint), my youth pastor did a preach on it (second hint) and when i read the book it was like "ok God, i get the picture". thank you Melody Carlson, u really are a lifesaver. i hope that any other person suffering from any eating disorders will get hold of this book and will change.
God bless

Coolest &MOST Awesome
Faded Denim is a great title and book. I love the titles for this series. This really gets right down to what it is like. I never knew someone who had eating disorders and I never have. I couldn't if I wanted to anyway! I love food and stay fit so no need for me. I hope girls read ths book. It could be helpful in so many ways. i love the part where Brett becomes her prayer buddy. It is nice to have friend to help you. Anyone who hasn't read this book, needs to. ASAP!!! Melody, you are rock at these books!!! Keep up the good work!!

Color me trapped
I am so amazed by this book. I do not like reading very much, but this book has changed my mind. Color me trapped is one of the only boooks that I will actually read. I am also glad that there is a book out there, that anyone can read. It is a good series, and always has a good message. The stories always have a problem, but by the end the problem is solved. I am so thakful that this series is out there.

Awesome book
This book is one of my all time favorites. I can really relate to this book because like Emily I feel pressured myself to be stick skinny like my friends and the models that I see in magazines. This book really opened my eyes to see how dangerous anorexia can be.

ohh my goodness.
i did it again. hehehe. but what i was trying to say, was that this book was so helpful. i could relate to Emily's charector so much. I know exactly how she felt, and i myself struggled witht he whole eating disorder thing for a while. God really intervened in my life, though. this book was amazing.
