Emily Hourican has a wonderful understanding of human nature'' Louise O''Neill\n\nThe summer she turned twenty-five, Anna felt invincible.\n\nIn love for the first time, in a strange city far from home, she could be a new person. All that she had ever wanted was there for the taking. But the glorious possibility of those long sultry days ended in a reality far starker than she could have imagined.\n\nNow, fifteen years later, Anna is struggling to get through to her teenage daughter Jessie -- named in memory of Anna''s best friend -- who has developed an eating disorder. Mother and daughter were once close, but now Anna feels as if Jessie''s every word and action is a mystery. Though sometimes she wonders if Jessie can see right through her.\n\nAe
