A darkly comic and heartbreakingly honest YA novel about finding the courage to help a friend who can't stop hurting herself.

Sinking under the weight of her broken family, Zoe develops an eating disorder. Now she must rely on Hank for help. Hank struggles to help Zoe; after all, she is used to agreeing, not leading.
