Countless – Karen Gregory
Read March 20 - Library
Hedda is in the grip of an eating disorder she refers to as 'Nia' when she discovers that she is pregnant. She decides to call a truce with Nia to try and grow and nurture a healthy baby.
This book was heart-breaking. Hedda was such an interesting character, I enjoyed reading about her inner conflicts and seeing her growing affection for her baby. I’ve never had any problems with anorexia, but I did appreciate the lack of explicit references towards calories and weight. My overall criticism was that I wanted more. A less abrupt conclusion for Robin, more about the unit and how everything began, Hedda’s friends, especially Molly, and especially her family.
3/5 stars
