Diary of an Anorexic Girl- Character Post

The main character in Diary of an Anorexic Girl is named Blythe Beaumont. Blythe is a regular teenager going to high school trying to get through life, until she begins to pay more attention to one of her classmates, Laurie. She notices how Laurie is beginning to lose weigh rapidly and barely even eats, so Blythe's competitive side takes over her and she begins to follow Laurie's footsteps. Even after Laurie moves away, Blythe finds herself eating less each day, to the point where she decides she was meant to be in the double digits, weighting 95 pounds.
