An Apple a Day: A Memoir of Love and Recovery from Anorexia Kindle Edition

I want my money and my time back. This book was more about why she loves her boyfriend and a summary of what she learned in therapy more than anything else. And, as an American married to a Brit, I take issue with how much she criticized Americans for being overweight and "food obsessed". It seems that England is quite obsessed themselves with America's obesity problem but, the dirty little secret is, they have just as much of an obesity problem as we do. They just always fail to remember that they're entire country is the size of the state of Florida. Anyway, if you were looking for an eating disorder a memoir, this is not it. I suggest "wasted". It's far better.

Simply masterful. Woolf's work is a must for anyone who has or is trying to understand an eating disorder. Her journey is alternately heart-wrenching and -warming, but throughout she engages the reader with wit, charm, and her infectious will to thrive. I loved it so much I bought every other book she's ever written. Thank you for sharing your story; you're an inspiration to so many of us who are trying to follow in your footsteps, one bite at a time.

There's no magical cure for any ailment in this book and no gruesome details of the plummet into anorexia. It is an enlightening exercise in honesty. I do not suffer the same way as the author does, but we all have our own struggles to meet. Reading as the author bravely exposes her tumultuous experience breeds courage to in the reader to do the same... this one at least.

Wonderfully hopeful and honest on the path of recovery from anorexia. I have suffered for as long as I can remember, and I could relate to many sections. It can be triggering from my perspective, but not as bad as other books I have read. I like ending the book hopeful. I would recommend,

This was written in a thoughtful, intelligent, yet thoroughly readable manner. Very honest and enjoyable without an attempt at tying everything up in a neat little bow.

I thought this book was going to be a memoir of the author's experience with her eating disorder. It was more like reading a diary about how obsessed she is with her boyfriend. She did not expand much on her experience with her eating disorder throughout her life at all. Just general thoughts on it. I was disappointed.

Well written, informative and compelling. This book gets inside the author's mind. She really helped me understand anorexia a bit better emotionally and factually.

This book was very enjoyable as it explains in intimate detail in the first person everything about suffering with anorexia for years, and gives valuable insight to this world that so many woman are trapped. Made even better as it has been written by Emma Woolf, and she is the niece of Virginia Woolfe. Very well written, and insightful.
