In every century, some new illness appears, for which people themselves are partly to blame. Anorexia and bulimia are two diseases that are written about a lot in the modern press. Justine's book is a first-hand story about how a fourteen-year-old girl fell ill with anorexia, about the reasons that provoked the disease, about its course, the psychological problems of patients of this kind and about the forces that helped Justine avoid death.

The book is useful not only for teenagers and their parents, but also for all representatives of our society, because it is the beauty standards imposed on people and someone’s cruelty towards those who do not fit into these standards that often provoke tragic cases.
