PRAISE:

“Elliot’s novel helps to fill a gap within teen narratives about disordered eating.” Kirkus

 

“A well-written page-turner whose sensitive topic is covered with finesse and grace. This novel would be a worthy addition to a high school library collection.” School Library Journal

 

“Diversity in young adult books is finally on the rise, and Sad Perfect fits the bill. It takes an honest look at an eating disorder and mental health issues faced by some teens. Sad Perfect is recommended for libraries serving middle school age and up, where it will appeal to fans of realistic fiction about difficult topics.” Voya Magazine

 

“Elliot’s YA debut is told in second-person narrative, a rarity in this genre — but it works. … Readers who aren’t aware of this type of eating disorder will learn a great deal; expect to develop understanding and sympathy for those who suffer from eating disorders.” RT Book Reviews
