ON FIGMENT: Because It's True by Chanel

Pitch:

A short story about a girl with an eating disorder being forced to work with a boy she'd rather avoid, and before they know it, they collide for better or for worse.

My Figment Comment:

This story was very emotionally stirring. It was a little fast-paced but I didn't mind it, because the rest of it was just perfect. You created some good characters. ...
Great job! Worth the read. I love happy endings. I really hope this girl gets better :)

This is a powerful short story with very strong elements. It's a quick ride through the emotions of a character struggling with an eating disorder. What I liked most about it, though, was that it ends hopefully. Nothing that happens is random in this story; you find towards the end that you've bonded with the main character and just want to give her a hug. The story is well-written and engaging, pulling you into the situation so you really feel like you're there cheering her on. Distinctive prose makes it enjoyable and realistic.

There is some strong language, but I felt it fit in with the character's situation, making her more realistic. This was worth the read.
