Recensioner

I did not expect to enjoy this book. I am not a big fan of poetry and I worried it would be stale and slow. It was anything but! I got hooked almost immediately. I felt like I was getting the highlights of her story, the key pivotal moments, without the "story building" background time. It moved quickly, given the few words on each page, but I felt like I was on a journey with her. The only complaint I had was at the end - - things wrapped up suddenly and without quite enough explanation for me. I want to call her up and ask her for more details! I agree with another reviewer who mentioned the role this could play in a middle/high school setting. I almost cried when she realized she was not alone. This book could play that role for others as well.
(I received this book as an early reviewer in exchange for an honest review. My review is based only on my own thoughts.)

Where to begin when reviewing this book? It's raw and honest, reads like an AA fifth step, has plenty of painful moments, but also, like the AA preamble, offers experience, strength and hope. It does so not only for battle scarred veterans of low self image and eating disorders, but more importantly, for teens who are struggling with their own eating and body image issues. Definitely a book that should have a place in public and school libraries where personal narratives relevant to teen health are valued.… (mer)

I received this book through the Library Thing Early Reviewers programme.

In The Denim Diaries: A Memoir, Laurie Boyle Crompton describes events in her life through free verse poetry.

Told with a delicate touch, the memoir will touch the heart. Definitely a must read.

Told through free verse with honesty this memoir takes you on an emotional journey from childhood to adulthood. Crompton's voice is sincere as you follow her to her lowest of lows and feel the hope that she has once she decides to fight to live. Many young women will recognize themselves in this book as society pushes thinness as a beauty standard.
