BOOK REVIEW for Saving Sara by Sara Somers

Thank you to "SHE WRITES PRESS"  for sending me an electronic copy of this book to read and review


TITLE:  Saving Sara

AUTHOR:   Sara Somers

GENRE:  Memoir

RATING  3 stars

I  really wanted to like this book a lot.  Instead it was just okay.

I could not believe it.  Finally, a memoir on eating disorders that focused on binge eating, instead of the usual anorexia or bulimia.  As an extra bonus, OA was actually mentioned in a positive way.  I read a lot of books on addiction, so I was excited to read about binge eating and OA.

I don't know why I wasn't into this book.  The writing was okay, but I think, for me, this memoir lacked the emotion I normally find in books on addiction.  

I am sure that the author felt all the emotions while living her story, but I am not sure she managed to convey it on paper.
