Hi Rachel,
I got your book a couple of weeks ago and read it in a few days. I have BDD and am currently undergoing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to try and deal with it.
I found your story very inspiring and I identified with so much of what you have been through. It's a great relief, and a powerful motivator, when you read of someone else's experiences with this disorder and it helps you realise that you are not the only one who feels this way. I used to think I couldn't have BDD because I got comments about how ugly I was so I was really shocked to read that even someone as beautiful as yourself used to get comments like that when you went clubbing in Crawley etc. I am learning to realise that some people are just hateful and insecure and put other people down because of that.
So many thanks for your book and I hope you continue to move forward with your life and have a happy and healthy future.
By all means please feel free to use any of my comments on your site :-)

An amazing book!
I couldnt put it down and had read it within in two days! It is touching and a great book for anyone !
The book went down well in my book group ( a wide range of ages and groups of people) One lady said it changed her whole perception of Models and there stereotypes when others just were amazed at how far you had come!!
Well done Racheal and most of all Thank You! X |

 Really Positve Book, 5 April 2008
This book is truly motivational and inspirational because it does not only talk about the medical issues around this girls illness but gives you an insight to the every day build up that could have contributed to this type of illness.
In the book the girl talks about so many things that happen in lots of peoples lives, that we all take for granted starting from us as Parents, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers, Friends and Family's in general.
It seems to me that we can all makes mistakes in life and till we read a book like this we may not always notice!
If you're ready to begin to overcome past experiences and choices that are holding you down... Then I would say that this book would be a good read for you!
This inspiring story will help you begin to institute that desired change - within yourself
This is definitely one of the books that will uniquely charge you to begin to recognise and nullify long-held, counterproductive limiting thoughts, and self-doubt.
When this book came to my attention I was first impressed by the cover-but you know what they say... "You can't judge a book by its cover" What it means is that before you can judge something, you need to take a deeper, closer look at it.
The book also talks about against size zero models, which is a much-needed subject, as I am a larger person.
Excellent read! |

A great read, really inspiring, 27 Mar 2008
My Sister gave me this book to read and said I would enjoy it. She was right. I couldn't put it down. I thought the butterfly girl is so real and I really cared what happened to her in her poor life as a young girl. I think we can all identify with this girl one way or another. This young girl makes you realise how fragile life can make you. It really stays in my mind and I'm sure I'll read it again and again. A lovely book.
This book is a gem! It is a wonderful, easy read well worth reading!
