review: books... "love sick" by jake coburn

rating: 3 out of 5

bottom line: read it.

synop: one day out of the blue, a wealthy man makes jake a proposition: he will pay for Jake's college at Ivy League in exchange for keeping an eye out for his daughter, Erica.

why?

well, Erica here has an eating disorder. she is bulimic. she gorges herself on a dozen of doughnuts one night, then proceedes to barf them all right back out.

simple enough. at this point, you would think that it would be a stalker-like book, but read on:

but.

he did not expect to fall in love.

is Jake strong enough to keep lieing to Erica?

or will Erica doubt his feelings for her once she finds out?

review: i think that this was a pretty well-written novel.

20% of america's teenage girls have an eating disorder: whether they're anorexic (don't eat), or bulimic (eat too much to only barf it out again).

and i like the fact that this book adresses that--Erica isn't a druggie, or socially-inept.
