Gaining weight and getting my head out of the toilet bowl was the most political act I have ever committed. ↗

She'd lost two more pounds. A picture of the models she'd cut out of the magazine flashed through Kessa's mind. And the winner is... seventy-three! ↗

[. . .] and in addition to the feeling of being full there was another more terrifying one, as if a hundred appetites were raging out of control within her.

Did you ever think about boys?' I say, staring up into the dark. 'There wasn't room,' she whispers, and her voice is unbelievably sad. 'At first, after Connor, I was just waiting.

Bok knows everything about me, including my thing with auras. Truth is, though, he isn't much good as a bodyguard.
