"It reads like a novel...absolutely gripping." --Boston Globe
"Compelling...Hopefully, young Gottlieb will stand as a patron saint for girls vulnerable to eating disorders and the adults who should be caring for them." --Booklist
"Poignant...Gottlieb is dead-on about society's irrational attitudes towards women's bodies." --Washington Post Book World
"Lori Gottlieb's approach is compassionate, and very, very funny. More than just a book about anorexia, Stick Figure is an entertaining and thoughtful coming-of-age story that deals with an almost universal theme--negotiating the minefields of early adolescence and living to tell the tale." --Martha Manning, author of Undercurrents
"What happens when a young girl from Beverly Hills trips on the fallacies of family and friends, then gets saturated by society's worship of the too thin? She almost dies...Gottlieb tells all this with an earnest narration that is funny at times but always tragic. And although Lori steps deeper and deeper into her illness, there is no self-pity. The mood is simply: This is what happened to me." --Seattle Times
"Lori Gottlieb's eleven-year-old self is a singular storyteller of unblinking candor and precocious insight. As rife with wry humor as it is lacking in self-pity, this fast-paced chronicle of late-1970s adolescent anorexia is narrated with a light touch, and yet is chilling and poignant in its straightforward simplicity." --Sarah Saffian, author of Ithaka: A Daughter's Memoir of Being Found
"Stick Figure stands out as a fresh, edgy take--not just on anorexia but on that perilous time in a girl's life when she's no longer a child but not quite an adult." --Entertainment Weekly
"Undeniably effective." --Booklist
"[An] authentic voice." -- Francisco Chronicle
"Her descriptions of preteen vulnerability and self-consciousness ring true...her diary offers haunting evidence of what little progress we have made." --Publishers Weekly
"By turns earnest and funny, hopeful and tragic, eleven-year-old Lori is a latter-day Alice: She takes us through the distorted looking glass that's held up to young girls and into the harrowing land of eating disorders. There is no other word for it: You will devour this book--and hopefully, keep right on eating." --Peggy Orenstein, author of School Girls: Young Women, Self-Esteem, and the Confidence Gap
