I Should Have Worn A Curtain 2: A Novella by Samyra Alexander

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


In “I Should Have Worn a Curtain 2” Samyra Alexander continues the story of Shaena, a young woman, who suffers from eating disorder.

What I especially liked about this book is that the author doesn’t try to make Shaena look perfect, while the whole world is against her. This is true, a lot of people deny things like depression, bulimia, anorexia, etc., proclaiming these problems to be illusionary and simply the consequences of a lack of willpower. But at the same time, some people tend to blame the world for their problems.

Samyra Alexander draws a truthful portrait of someone, who suffers from bulimia, with flaws, sometimes unfair judgements, as well as illogical actions.

I liked the way the author depicts the relationship between Shaena and her family. Every family has its ups and downs, but the most important thing is that these ties are not to be broken easily, and even after many years of misunderstandings they can be fixed.
