As someone who has read the book and has also dealt with an eating disorder I would have to strongly advise you to not let you child read this until they are at least a few years older. This book deals with something that is extremely disturbing and triggering and whilst its a well written and extremely emotional book, I'd be more than a little worried about letting someone so young read it on their own. If they're set on reading it maybe read it together so you're there to talk your child through some of the more disturbing material

I read the book, and if your daughter has body image issues, I would not recommend it. It's a wonderful story, though.

I read this book when I was 12 years old and found myself bewildered by how Elena feels. Talk to the person who you are wondering if they can read the book. I think if they have any doubt about what they look like to wait till their older. I found it inspiring the way she ends the book with perseverance and your perfect no matter what.
