A PR company sent me Hope with Eating Disorders book to review as this is a subject that many of you may have experienced.

Lynn Crilly gives an insight from a personal perspective on what it’s like to be a mother with a daughter suffering from an eating disorder. 

In its second edition, the self-help book is available online at Amazon and other book stores for £15.99.

Hope with Eating disorders isn’t a book for sufferers, its a book written by a mother who wants to get her message across on how to help family members overcome eating disorders.

Lynn openly shares the struggles and pain she and her family went through when her daughter Samantha was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa and OCD in her early teens. 

During her daughter’s recovery, Lynn sets up her own counselling business to help educate other parents, carers, siblings and friends about mental illness and treatments and how to support their loved ones. 

The book is divided into 12 chapters explaining what eating disorders are and breaking down in simple terms treatments and their impact on loved ones.

Would I purchase Hope with Eating Disorders?

The book is helpful if you have loved ones suffering from an eating disorder. The way Lynn writes this is engaging and easy to read. This is a raw, heartbreaking story with a positive outcome that makes this book worth reading. 

The author does not hold back, and Lynn is proof of someone who is positive, and by sticking to methods, she believes in giving family and friends and even eating disorder sufferers hope in their recovery.

I would purchase this book as it gives insight from another person’s point of view instead of the sufferer. I’ve suffered many issues over the years, but this book makes me see things from another perspective.

Let us know your thoughts about the book? Would you purchase the book? Why or why not?
