Pet peeve. People aren't following the actual topic. There's another list for all eating disorder books, like memoirs that shouldn't be included here..
reply

flag
Keeping the Moon is about a girl losing a lot of weight, yes, but she doesn't have an eating disorder. Should not be on the list.
Some of these books I haven't read but know from looking at them (description and stuff) they shouldn't be on here...
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows any YA ED novels with a MALE character?
Ummm, this is a list for fictional books, right?! But "Wasted" by Marya Hornbacher is a non-fiction book. A good one, but it doesn't really belong here.
Amy wrote: "Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows any YA ED novels with a MALE character?"'purge' by sarah darer littman has a male character suffering from an eating disorder. he's not the protagonist, however.
I took 'wasted' off the list, since it is a memoir, and not fiction.
Amy wrote: "Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows any YA ED novels with a MALE character?"'nothing' by Robin Friedman, is about Parker, a high school senior struggling with bulimia
Is there a good one where there's also romance?? The semi-autobiography type or competition between girls has become boring :/
I've taken out 'unbearable lightness' as well, since it isn't a novel.
Isn't ED related so I'll just mention in the comments, but it's about a girl who goes on a strict diet and loses a lot of weight. Fat Cat
Amy wrote: "Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows any YA ED novels with a MALE character?"A Trick of the Light has a male protagonist with anorexia
How the HECK did The Fault in Our Stars land up here?? Its a cancer story..not an eating disorder. #just saying :)
Why is The Fault in Our Stars on this list? As far as I remember there was no one suffering from an eating disorder. Am I forgetting something?
I just deleted The Fault in Our Stars for being Miscategorized.
"Black Box" is not about eating disorders. It is about depression and suicide, but not EDs.
Amy wrote: "Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows any YA ED novels with a MALE character?"It's not about eating disorders but it's about weight loss (which, let's be honest, as hard as it is to find a book about a male MC with an eating disorder it's equally as hard to find a book about a male MC who experiences fatphobia...). Food, Girls, and Other Things I Can't Have
Amy wrote: "Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows any YA ED novels with a MALE character?"The Art of Starving
if anyone notices other books that do not follow the topic (ie aren't fiction, or aren't actually about eating disorders, please let me know and i can remove them. I've been on a list cleaning kick lately
Amelie wrote: "Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows any YA ED novels with a MALE character?"let me know once you find out thanks
