![]() ![]() Carrie starts out at more than five and a half feet tall. But she quits the pills and dieting once the dance is over. And certainly at first, Carrie’s dangerous foray into diet pills and extreme dieting seem to be part of behaviors and ideas that lead to anorexia. ![]() When I first saw this book, I thought it was going to be about anorexia. ![]() As she gets smaller each day, she begins to wonder if doctors will find a cure in time, or if she’ll shrink until she disappears. As she shrinks, she loses social status, but even worse, her independence. Doctors scramble to find a cure while Carrie grows ever smaller. Until Carrie realizes it isn’t only her waist that’s smaller. The dress, the night with her boyfriend, everything is perfect. She slims down just in time for the dance. Though she only has days to prepare for the dance, she radically changes her food intake and begins taking diet pills, more than the recommended dose. When Carrie finds the perfect dress for the Valentine’s Day dance, she buys it, even though it’s a size too small. CreateSpace Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads ![]()
